Recovering from
Corrupted Software
If the system software has become corrupted, the Router will enter a
“recovery” state; DHCP is enabled, and the LAN IP address is set to
192.168.1.1. Follow the instructions below to upload a new copy of the
system software to a Router unit in this state.
Before you start, ensure that one of your computers has a copy of the
new software image file stored on its hard disk or available on CD-ROM.
The latest software is available on 3Com’s Web site at:
www.3com.com
1 Remove power from the Router and disconnect all your computers,
except for the one computer with the software image.
2 Reconfigure this computer to obtain an IP address automatically (see
“Obtaining an IP Address Automatically”
on page 21)
3 Restart the computer, and re-apply power to the Router.
4 Using the Web browser on the computer, enter the following URL in the
location bar:
http://192.168.1.1.
This will connect you to the Recovery utility in the Router.
5 Follow the on-screen instructions. Enter the path and filename of the
software image file.
6 When the upload has completed, the Router will restart, run the self-test
and, if successful, resume normal operation.
