Hey,
Is it possible to determine how long the system tries to read the configuration from "kiosk_config"?

Hello ZgredekLCD,

There are a few factors playing role here:

a) config hosted on PK Server, web server, ftp server
b) remote server accessible or not (internet down, remote server down)
c) remote config present or not (removed from the server)

According to my tests the kiosk should wait no longer than 5 minutes for a remote config.
If not available then default to local config and proceed with booting.

Thanks
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.
