5.1Booting the ADSL Router from Ethernet Network

By default, the Router is configured to boot from the on-board flash memory. But it is possible boot via Ethernet network as well. The executable image is stored in the local PC and is downloaded to the Router via Ethernet network upon every reset. For this, the Router needs to be configured and also a TFTP/BOOTP utility needs to be installed on the local PC.

Keep the * key be pressed

At the ‘Boot from Ethernet, USB or Flash? (E/U/F)’

To download the software you need a TFTP/BOOTP server. You can use any. Be aware that every time the board is restarted the image will be transferred from the local PC to the Router.
