updates it to the local. Then the device sends an acknowledgement to the BIMS

BIMS Device
Configuration Tasks
BIMS is a convenient management tool. It provides an intelligent function for
upgrading the configuration file and applications. BIMS device configuration
involves the following two parts:
■ Basic configuration. For details, see “Basic Configuration of BIMS Device” on
page 798.
■ Configuration of BIMS access mode. For details, see “Configuring BIMS Access
Mode” on page 799.
c
CAUTION:
■ When you use the BIMS device to upgrade the host software and configuration
file, the name of the file downloaded and saved to the local device is the same
as that on the BIMS device.
■ If the device experiences power failure during the upgrade of host software or
configuration file, it is possible that old host software or configuration file is
deleted and the new file is not saved yet. In this case, the upgrade will fail, the
configuration on the device will be lost, and eventually the BIMS cannot
manage the device.
