+This is similar to the Potentiometer approach above, but it is easy to monitor progress just by watching the current display on the power supply. When it hits the current limit the PSU momentarily switches to CC mode, the voltage drops and the boot fails, shown by the current reverting to 0.29A as the cycle starts again.

+As with other bootfail methods, you count 3 fails and then allow it to boot normally – in this case by raising the settings to 12V, 2+A.

 #### Automatic monitoring of serial console
 
 A Python program written by Mark Smith is available on [GitHub](https://github.com/mswhirl/bouncer) that you can run on a Raspberry Pi which monitors the serial console output from the Gateway and then automatically cycles the power to the Gateway to cause a brown-out condition during boot, to reliably force a temporary bank switch.

 Because the Smart Modem itself can act as an agent, [these scripts](https://github.com/seud0nym/tch-gui-unhide/tree/master/wifi-booster#readme) configure a Telstra Smart Modem to act as an EasyMesh agent to a Telstra Smart Modem controller using Ethernet back-haul. Note that it is not possible at this time to configure Wi-Fi back-haul, as these devices do not have the software to configure the Wi-Fi to act in station mode to connect wirelessly to the controller, so only direct ethernet connection (or Ethernet-over-Power adapters) are possible.
