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 m ode’ 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.

...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.
