Using the Ethernet Adapter Manager

Upgrading the Ethernet Adapter Firmware

To update the firmware on your Ethernet Adapter, perform the following steps:

1)Download the latest version of firmware from the RoamAbout Wireless web site, www.enterasys.com/wireless, to the computer that is currently running the Ethernet Adapter Manager. The firmware file will have the extension “.rum”.

2)When the download is complete, go the Ethernet Manager Configuration window (Figure 4-1).

3)Click on the File menu and select Upload Firmware.

4)Browse to the directory which contains the location of the firmware file.

5)Double-click on the file.

The Log Viewer displays a progress status. At the end of the process, the Ethernet Adapter resets. The Log Viewer displays a message that your Ethernet Adapter was properly updated. The status light on the Ethernet Adapter flashes. The new image is installed, and the Ethernet Adapter ready for use, in approximately 15 to 20 seconds.

Resetting to Factory Defaults

This feature allows you to restore the Ethernet Adapter back to its original settings.

1)Go to the Ethernet Manager Configuration window (Figure 4-1)

2)Click on the File menu and select Reset to Factory Defaults. All of the parameters are immediately restored to the factory default values.

Depending on your current PC card network setting, resetting to factory default may leave the Ethernet Adapter in a non-reachable state. Resetting to defaults resets all parameters, including the PC Card Network Name. If the Ethernet Adapter you reset to defaults is not on the same wired LAN section as your PC, it is possible that it will lose association to the Access Point. If this is the case, the Ethernet Adapter Manager cannot communicate with the Ethernet Adapter. To resolve this problem, retrieve the Ethernet Adapter and connect it to your PC via an Ethernet cable. Then, use the Ethernet Adapter Manager to set the Network Name to match the Access Point.
