There is a problem with your options file. Inability to telnet 0 is a dead giveaway.
You need to stop the falcon process before attempting to cat in the new options file From the root/linux prompt type: service idirect_falcon stop Ensure the options file you are loading is "good" and it is not a hub-side options file. |

This has been posted at least 10 times that I know of. Not sure where it goes. The procedures can be found in the the "How to recover iNFINIT remotes" document.
Open the good opt in notepad. Control A and right click/copy all From the linux prompt (root) type: # service idirect_falcon stop # cd .. (ensure that space is there) # cd /etc/idirect/falcon/ # ls -l (note that falcon.opt resides in the directory) # cat > falcon.opt (when it moves you down to the next line automatically, right click and paste the "good" options file). Once it pastes (fully). Hit the <enter> key once and Control D (done). Type reboot at the linux prompt. When it comes up, it will be on the good opt. |

I would suggest removing/renaming the old options file first before cat'ing.

That is certainly good practice (and the textbook answer), but more often than not the opt is corrupt...and therefore unusable.
