Network recovery (PXE)

The PXE network protocol (Preboot Execution Environment) enables devices to boot via LAN. The devices do not need a bootable storage medium but their BIOS must support PXE.

The PXE code in the BIOS of the network adapter allows the devices to communicate with the DHCP and TFTP server. From the DHCP server, the client receives the IP configuration. The TFTP server provides the boot file. The boot file calls the core installer which installs a minimal system, formats the flash memory and prepares the installation of the eLux operating system from the web server.

With the Recovery service of the Scout Enterprise Management Suite, a TFTP server and the required functions are installed. The Recovery service is included in the standard installation.
