Procedure To upgrade/restore the SpeedTouch™ system software:
Step Action
1
Make sure that your SpeedTouch™ is powered off and that a BOOTP/
TFTP server is readily installed on the computer from which you intend
to perform the system software upgrade
2 Configure the BOOTP/TFTP server to use the SpeedTouch™ system
software image file in its reply to BOOTP requests from the
SpeedTouch™ you want to upgrade.
3 To identify the BOOTP requests from the SpeedTouch™, you will need to
specify its MAC address and define an IP range for basic communication
between the BOOTP/TFTP server and the SpeedTouch™.
4 Set the SpeedTouch™ in BOOTP by executing the :software upgrade CLI
command:
=>:software upgrade
The SpeedTouch™ is in BOOTP mode when the power LED is solid
orange.
5 The BOOTP/TFTP server will reply to the BOOTP requests and will
perform the required operations to allow the system software to be
fetched by the SpeedTouch™ via TFTP.
6 After checking whether the received system software is valid for the
device, the SpeedTouch™ will start in normal operational mode to
complete the upgrade.
This step can take some time to complete.
The upgrade process can be followed via a serial console!
