Several options let you change how ERPXE and PXELINUX behave. The configuration files live in \er\config:

• erpxe.conf – global settings
• boot.conf – splash settings

Enable/Disable intro timer

ERPXE includes an intro timer so clients can load their local OS without disabling PXE boot.
Press any key during the timer to stop it and access ERPXE.
The default timer is 10 seconds.
Enable or disable the intro timer in boot.conf:

Customizing the boot text:

MENU AUTOBOOT Booting System in # seconds...

Customizing the timeout:

TIMEOUT 200

Setup Password

You can protect online PXE editing with a password set in erpxe.conf. The default password is 12345 (YOU MUST CHANGE IT!).

MENU MASTER PASSWD 12345

Setup Hidden Boot

To boot from the hard drive and reveal the PXE menu only when you hold Ctrl-Alt, uncomment the line in boot.conf:

# MENU SHIFTKEY 1

Blocks exit to command line from menu

Add this line in boot.conf:

NOESCAPE 1
