different on an EWPX1WCMB0 and EWPX1WCMD0, the chapter will describe it separately.
Introduction
Files managed by the access controller
The WX6103 manages the following three types of files:
• BootWare program file
• Application files
• Configuration file
BootWare program file
The BootWare program file is used by the access controller to boot the applications. The complete
BootWare program file consists of basic BootWare and extended BootWare.
• Basic BootWare implements system initialization.
• Extended BootWare provides abundant man-machine interaction functions. It is used for interface
initialization for application program and boot system upgrade.
• Full BootWare refers to the combination of the two sections. After the basic BootWare is started, you
can load or upgrade the extended BootWare.
WARNING!
Do not power off the device when upgrading the BootWare; otherwise, the BootWare can be damaged.
Application files
The WX6103 access controller supports the Dual Image function. By default, three application files are
defined for system boot:
• Main application file (main file)
• Backup application file (backup file)
• Secure application file (secure file)
These files are stored in the built-in CF card, with an extension name of .bin.
Typically, the default application file is written into the built-in CF card before the access controller is
delivered.
