What is a Single Banker Device?


During firmware upgrade, every device has reserve space to install the
new firmware. After successful firmware update the device will switch to
the reserve space and start functioning normally. Incase of any issues,
the device will fallback to the original banker. But Single Banker devices
will not have this reserve space, so any issue during firmware update will
make this device unusable. And usually the ISP has to replace the
device for the customer.

What is a Low RAM/Memory device?


These kinds of devices usually have lesser memory than other devices
in the same device category (Dual band)

How to Check Memory of any VSOL device?


1. Telnet to the device mgmt ip address
2. Type the command - enterlinuxshell
3. Type the Shell Password - You can get this after exporting the config
file
4. After in the shell mode, Type the command - cat /proc/meminfo
How to Check Banker Details of any VSOL
device?
1. Telnet to the device mgmt ip address
2. Type the command - enterlinuxshell
3. Type the Shell Password - You can get this after exporting the config
file
4. After in the shell mode, Type the command - cat /proc/mtd
5. If you see only k0,r0 the device is single banker (risk for firmware
updates)
6. If you see both k0,r0 and k1,r1 then the device is dual banker (safe for
firmware updates)
