Booting the IP-STB

Note! A modified boot process has been introduced for the new IP-STB models VIP2853 and VIP11X3. Please refer to fast boot for more information.

If you are booting a single IP-STB, or a very small population of IP-STBs, for instance in a lab or developer situation, you might want to look into the following boot methods:

• HTTP Booting
• TFTP Booting

For developers working with C++ on the IP-STB, you will certainly want to check out NFS mounting.

For large populations of IP-STBs, including bigger labs or live, production environments, you should be looking into a scalable and flexible boot method such as Infocast

You will also need to configure your DHCP Server

Once the IP-STB is booting, you may want to know the meaning of the Boot Dot Indicators.
