Maintaining Software 
 
 
Because the display information of the WX3010, WX3024 and WX3008 are similar, this chapter takes 
the WX3024 as an example.  
 
Introduction 
Files Managed by the Device 
The WX3000 series consists of two virtual systems: access control engine and switching engine, for 
which two independent file systems are employed to manage the following four types of files:  
z
 
BootWare program file 
z
 
Application files 
z
 
Configuration files 
z
 
Web files 
The access control engine manages the BootWare program file and application files; the switching 
engine manages the Web files; both the access control engine and switching engine store and manage 
their respective configuration files.  
BootWare Program File 
The BootWare program file is used to boot applications during the startup of the device. A complete 
BootWare program file includes a basic section and an extended section.  
z
 
The basic BootWare section is used to complete the primary initialization of the system.  
z
 
With rich human-computer interaction (HCI) functions, the extended BootWare section is used for 
initializing the interfaces and updating the applications and the boot system.  
z
 
A complete BootWare program is the combination of the basic and extended BootWare sections. 
After the basic BootWare section is started, you can download and update the extended BootWare 
through the menu of the basic BootWare section.  
 
 
Do not power off or restart the device when updating the BootWare program file; otherwise, the 
BootWare program may be damaged and the device may fail to operate normally.
