Performing a ash upgrade
AdderLink IP is fully recongurable via ash upgrade
To perform a ash upgrade
1 Using a remote connection, log on as the admin user and access the Unit
conguration page to determine the current rmware version of the
AdderLink IP unit.
2 Visit the Adder website, locate the downloads section and select an
AdderLink IP rmware revision that is later than the one currently installed.
3 Power down the AdderLink IP unit. At the rear of the unit, adjacent to the
power input socket, click mini switch 1 to its ON (down) position.
4 Re-apply power to the AdderLink IP. On the locally connected monitor you
should see a Maintenance menu:
The Maintenance menu should display the current network address
of the AdderLink IP.
• If the current network address is incorrect then select
the ‘Congure network’ option to change it:
5 Use the web browser (not the VNC viewer) on the previously used remote
system, connect to the network address shown in the local Maintenance
menu and log on as the admin user.
6 Follow the on screen instructions to upload the rmware le (previously
obtained from the Adder site) to the AdderLink IP.
IMPORTANT: Wait until the upgrade is complete.
7 When the upload is complete and conrmed on screen, log off the remote
system and then power down the AdderLink IP.
8 At the rear of the unit, return the mini switch 1 to its OFF position and then
re-apply power.
MAC address
Media Access Control address – this is
the unique and unchangeable code that
was hard coded within your AdderLink
IP unit when it was built. It consists of six
2-digit hexadecimal (base 16) numbers
separated by colons. A section of the
MAC address identies Adder Technology
as the manufacturer, while the remainder
is effectively the unique electronic serial
number of your particular unit.
Use DHCP
When this option is selected, your
AdderLink IP will attempt to locate a
DHCP server on the network. If such a
server is located, it will supply three
things to the AdderLink IP: an IP address,
an IP network mask (also known as a
Subnet mask) and a Gateway address.
IP address
This is the identity of the AdderLink
IP within a network. It can either
be entered manually or congured
automatically using the DHCP option.
When the DHCP option is enabled, this
entry is greyed out.
Net mask
Also often called the ‘subnet-mask’, this
value is used alongside the IP address
to help dene a smaller collection (or
subnet) of devices on a network. In
this way a distinction is made between
locally connected devices and ones that
are reachable elsewhere, such as on the
wider Internet.
Gateway
This is the address of the device that
links the local network (to which the
AdderLink IP is connected) to another
network such as the Internet. Usually
this is a network switch or router and
it will be used whenever a device to be
contacted lies outside the local network.
