Example:
To set the scriptfilename to SCRIPT.DAT, enter:
sdvars set scriptfilename script.dat
sdvars set starttime
Purpose:
Sets the internal variable starttime. Starttime is a countdown time; that is,
when zero is reached, the software download process begins. Set this
variable to reflect how far into the future the access point is to begin
downloading and executing the script file from the TFTP server. When the
timer reaches 0, the access point uses the values in serveripaddress and
scriptfilename to get the script file that is to be executed. If either
serveripaddress or scriptfilename contains no value, an error is noted in
the status variable and the software download process is terminated.
Syntax:
sdvars set starttime
dd
:
hh
:
mm
:
ss
where dd:hh:mm:ss is how far in the future the reboot is to begin and
dd
is days.
hh is
hours.
mm is
minutes.
ss
is seconds.
Example:
To begin the script file download in 5 minutes, enter:
sdvars set starttime 00:00:05:00
Note
If you need to stop the download, you can do so by setting starttime
to 0 if it has not already been reached by the countdown. Resetting
starttime to 0 stops the timer and the download process.
sdvars set checkpoint
Purpose:
