from the computer running the TFP server, and type IpConfig, then press the
Enter key.

8. Trigger the firmware upgrade process by clicking Upgrade.

Fig. 32 TFTP Server.

NOTE: After the dialog box of the TFTP server program appears, be sure to

specify the folder that the downloaded firmware files reside.

NOTE: Make sure the Accept read requests check box of TFTP Server is selected.
NOTE: The LAN IP address of the SMC2586W-G and the IP address of the TFTP

server must be in the same IP subnet for TFTP to work.

NOTE: It is highly recommended that the TFTP server and the to-be-upgraded

SMC2586W-G be connected by Ethernet and on the same LAN.

NOTE: After the firmware is upgraded, be sure to delete the contents of the Web

browser cache, so that the Web management pages can be shown correctly.

NOTE: A failed upgrade may corrupt the firmware and cause the SMC2586W-G

to fail to restart. When this occurs, call for technical support.

TIP: If you want to remotely upgrade the firmware of a deployed SMC2586W-G

from the In-ternet, adjust the Timeout and Max no. of retries settings of
TFTP Server for remote TFTP upgrade to succeed.
