This article covers both TDX and TDH.

If a software update fails the headend will boot into failsafe. From failsafe mode it is possible to perform a software update.

It is also possible to downgrade software from one major release to the previous (fx. from sw. 5.1.x to 4.9.x).


If you have access to the headend, failsafe can be triggered with the URL :  http://[management IP-address]/failsafe 

ex.  http:// 192.168.0.100/failsafe


You can also force the system, to boot into Failsafe mode using the rotary switch.

This function was added in sw. version 3.0.1.31530.
