Software Upgrade

Procedure To upgrade/restore the SpeedTouch™ system software:

1In a preliminary step, make sure that a BOOTP server is readily installed on the computer from which you intend to perform the system software upgrade.

2Configure the BOOTP server to use the SpeedTouch™ system software image file in its reply to BOOTP requests from the SpeedTouch™ you want to upgrade.

3To identify the BOOTP requests from the SpeedTouch™, you will need to define an IP range for basic communication between the BOOTP server and the SpeedTouch™. Depending on the BOOTP server, you might also need to specify its MAC address (can be found on the web pages, see “4.3.1 Information” on page 54).

4Start a telnet session as described in “ Telnet session” on page 14.

5Put the SpeedTouch™ in BOOTP with the following CLI command.
