Reference Guide

The sections below describe how to update the Router’s firmware
and how to download and upload configuration files.

Updating firmware

Firmware updates may be available periodically from Farallon or
from a site maintained by your organization’s network administrator.

To update the Router’s firmware, follow these steps:

1.

Select TFTP Server Name and enter the DNS name or IP
address of the TFTP server you will use. The DNS name or IP
address is available from the site where the server is located.

2.

Select Firmware File Name and enter the name of the file you
will download. The name of the file is available from the site
where the server is located. You may need to enter a file path
along with the file name (for example, bigroot/config/myfile).

3.

Select GET FIRMWARE FROM SERVER and press Return. You
will see the following dialog box:

+--------------------------------------------------------------------+

+--------------------------------------------------------------------+

| Are you sure you want to send a firmware file to your Netopia? |

| The device will restart when the transfer is complete. |

| |

| CANCEL CONTINUE |

+---------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------+

Select CANCEL to exit without downloading the file, or select
CONTINUE to download the file. The system will reset at the
end of the file transfer to put the new firmware into effect.
While the system resets, the LEDs will blink on and off.

Caution!

Do not manually reset the Netopia Router while it is automatically
resetting or it could be damaged.
