Appendix D. Sending a New OS to the NL200/201

3. Open DevConfig.

4. Select the

NL200 under Device Type.

5. Ensure that the

Use IP Connection box is checked on the left hand panel.

6. If the Admin Password of the device has been set, you will need to enter

that password in the

TCP Password control on the left panel in order for

the connection to succeed.

7. Enter the IP address or domain name address of the device in the

Communication Port control on the left panel. If you do not know the

address of the device and the device is connected to your local area

network, you may be able to use the

button to the right of

Communication Port to discover the list of devices on the network.

Whatever address is entered, it must end with :6786 in order to connect the

device configuration service.

8. Go to the

Send OS tab.

9. Press the

Start button.

10. In the resulting dialog box, select the file that should be sent to the device

as an operating system (this file should have an .obj extension) and press

the

OK button.

11. The operating system will be sent to the NL200/NL201.

12. After the file has been sent, the power LED on the NL200/NL201 will

blink repeatedly while the NL200/NL201 copies the OS into its internal

flash. This process takes about 10 seconds. While the LED is blinking,

the NL200/NL201 is in a vulnerable state where a removal of power will

leave the NL200/NL201 without a valid operating system to run. DO

NOT remove power until the LED stops blinking.
