Reinstalling System Software Using Recovery Mode

For non-DHCP Networks

If the AastraLink Pro 160 was not using DHCP to obtain an IP address on the LAN, then to communicate with the AastraLink, you can use a direct, back-to-back Ethernet connection between the AastraLink WAN interface and a PC.

In recovery mode, the AastraLink operates as a DHCP server for the private 192.168.100.100/24 network using the WAN port. So, when you connect the AastraLink to PC as described above, the AastraLink Recovery Mode DHCP server assigns a 192.168.100.10x address to the PC.

Once you have established communication between your PC and the AastraLink Pro 160, you then access the AastraLink Recovery UI to set the AastraLink Pro 160 back to its factory default settings

Use the following procedure to establish communication between your

AastraLink Pro 160 and your PC.

Direct Connection from AastraLink WAN port to your PC

Step Action

1Connect an Ethernet cable from the WAN port located on the back of the AastraLink Pro 160 to the LAN port on your PC.

The PC must be configured to be a DHCP client. Once you make this connection, the AastraLink Recovery Mode DHCP server assigns a 192.168.100.10x address to the PC.

2To access the Recovery Mode UI, use a web browser and enter the AastraLink default address of 192.160.100.100. That is, enter:

http://192.168.100.100

The AastraLink Recovery Mode UI appears. To set the AastraLink Pro 160 back to its factory default settings, use the procedure described “Reprogramming the CompactFlash Card” on page 7-15.
