Reset Control (probeResetControl)

- Setting this object to "warmBoot(2)" causes the device to restart the application software with current configuration parameters saved in nonvolatile memory.
- Setting this object to "coldBoot(3)" causes the device to reinitialize configuration parameters in nonvolatile memory to default values and restart the application software.
- When the device is running normally, the value of this object is "running(1)".

Download File (probeDownloadFile)

Name of the file to be downloaded from the TFTP server when a download is next requested via this MIB. This value of this object is set to a zero-length string when no file name has been specified.

TFTP Server (probeDownloadTFTPServer)

IP address of the TFTP server containing the boot image to load when a download is next requested via this MIB. The value of this object is set to "0.0.0.0" when no IP address has been specified.

Download Action (probeDownloadAction)

This object has three possible values: "notDownloading", "downloadToRAM", and "downloadToPROM".

When this object is set to "downloadToRAM" or "downloadToPROM", the device downloads the image specified by probeDownloadFile from the server specified by probeDownloadTFTPServer, using the TFTP protocol:

- If "downloadToRAM" is specified, the new image is copied to RAM only (the old image remains unaltered in the flash EPROM).
- If "downloadToPROM" is specified, the new image is written to the flash EPROM memory after its checksum has been verified to be correct. When the download process is completed, the device will warm boot to restart the newly loaded application.

Download Status (probeDownloadStatus)

Status of the last download procedure. The value of this object is "downloadStatusUnknown(2)" if no downloads have been performed.
