Upgrading Firmware

New firmware upgrades from Asoka are made available periodically. Firmware upgrades contain feature improvements and fixes to problems or bugs that may exist. When Asoka releases new firmware, you can download the firmware from Asoka’s web site at http://www.asokausa.com and update your Router’s firmware to the latest version.

To upload a new firmware upgrade onto the Router, follow these steps.

1.Click on Systems in the Main menu.

2.In the Sub menu, select Firmware.

3.Select the appropriate time zone, date and time.

4.Click Browse to locate the new firmware upgrade file downloaded from Asoka’s web site.

5.The box next to the Browse button will now display the location and name of the firmware file you just selected.

6.Click Update.

7.You will be asked if you are sure you want to continue. Click OK.

8.You will see one more message. This message tells you that the router may not respond for as long as one minute as the firmware is loaded into the router and the router is rebooted. Click OK.

9.When the firmware upgrade is complete, the router home page should appear automatically. If not, type in the router’s address (default – 192.168.1.1) into the address or navigation bar of your web browser.

Note: It is sometimes desirable to restore original default settings for the router. This can be done by using the Clear Old Configuration function, which will restore all factory settings. After an erase, the router’s username will be Admin, the password will be Welcome, the LAN IP address will be 192.168.1.1 and the router’s DHCP server will be set to Enabled.
