3.2.3Manual System Software Management via BOOTP/TFTP server

System software	The SpeedTouch™ system software can also be updated based on BOOTP, a
management	standard mechanism used for booting diskless stations.
		The SpeedTouch™ Upgrade Wizard is based on a BOOTP/TFTP server. For
		more information on how to upgrade the SpeedTouch™ using its Upgrade
		wizard, please see the User’s Guide.
	The SpeedTouch™ is able to be placed in BOOTP mode, allowing a BOOTP/TFTP
	server to manage the SpeedTouch™ file system, allowing the SpeedTouch™ to
	fetch the upgrade files from the BOOTP/TFTP server.
Important note
	It is recommended only to use the procedure described below in case you are
	familiar with the use of a BOOTP/TFTP server, and the mechanisms on which
	BOOTP is based.
	Upgrading the system software via the procedure described below will reset the
	SpeedTouch™ to its factory default settings. Therefore, prior to performing an
	upgrade of the system software it is recommended to back up the SpeedTouch™
	configuration.
Before you start
	You need a third party BOOTP/TFTP server installed on the computer from which
	you want to perform the SpeedTouch™ system software upgrade.
	Make sure that your computer is connected to the SpeedTouch™ via Ethernet. In
	case of a SpeedTouch™ with USB connectivity, please disconnect the USB
	interface, if used, to avoid communication errors during the system software
	upgrade.
	!	It is not possible to upgrade your SpeedTouch™ via a wireless connection!

You will need the SpeedTouch™ Medium Access Control (MAC) address of your

SpeedTouch™ device.

Make sure a valid SpeedTouch™ system software image file is available on your local disk.
