The invention consists of a boot loader for a device comprising an IP stack supporting Internet protocols and a scripting engine to run a default script. The IP stack includes address discovery service (for example BOOTP and DHCP), a URI to IP address translator (for example DNS), and a protocol for file transfer over the Internet (for example HTTP, FTP and/or TFTP). On start-up of the device the boot loader runs the default script to initialize the device and verify the integrity of any data and operating systems in memory on the device.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 4, 2003 and granted December 20, 2011. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended April 4, 2023.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 4, 2025.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
