Your system is contantly rebooting because falcon monitor is detecting something wrong with the options file you have loaded, or the lack of an options file entirely.
If you get on console of that 3100, you can type service idirect_falcon stop which will keep it from rebooting. However, you are going to have to copy and paste an options file into that box from the linux command line/prompt. Because Eth0 (which is identified by the options file) of that box is more than likely dead.
Here are the procedures you need to follow for the command line/paste to host:
*Prior to starting ensure your type: service idirect_falcon stop (to keep it from rebooting).
1. Open the GOOD options file in notepad
2. Control-A and (right click) Copy ONLY the text portion of the options file. NOTHING MORE...just the text.
3. From console (the prompt should look like this - #) type cd .. (be advised there is a single space between cd and ..)
4. Then type cd /etc/idirect/falcon/
5. type ls -l (you should see a filename falcon.opt which is your options file on the box).
6. type cat > falcon.opt (there is a space on both sides of > ) Enter.
7. (on the next line) paste in the copied options file (the one you copied in notepad)
8. Once the options file pastes in, hit the <enter> key once and then Control D (for done).
9. This should bring you back to the # prompt.
10. Type reboot to reset the unit.
The system should come up on the options file you pasted in.
