Files marked as ‘boot mode’ can only be downloaded if the device is in boot mode (the power light is flashing red; boot mode is entered if a hardware fault occurs or if you hold down the reset button for five seconds and less than 15 seconds). Files marked as ‘normal mode’ can only be accessed in normal operational mode.

Note: The device is not accessible via USB when in boot monitor mode, or when the device experiences a fault condition (power light turns red). To access the device under these circumstances (to get a memory dump, for example), it is necessary to connect the device via the Ethernet port.

Examples

Loading New firmware via TFTP

To upload new firmware to the Diva 2440, use your TFTP client software to transfer the firmware file. For example, using the TFTP program that comes with Windows NT, you could issue the following command:

tftp -i 192.168.1.1 put 2440c1en.eim image.eim

...where:

•‘192.168.1.1’ is the IP address of the Diva 2440.

•‘2440c1en.eim’ is the name of the firmware you want to upload.

•‘image.eim’ is the target file name on the Diva 2440. Do not change this name.

Retrieving message.txt

To retrieve the ‘message.txt’ file, which describes why boot monitor mode was entered, use the following TFTP command.

TFTP -i 192.168.1.1 get message.txt filename.txt
