Appendix D. Sending a New OS to the NL240

3. Open DevConfig.

4. Select the

NL240 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 NL240.

12. After the file has been sent, the power LED on the NL240 will blink

repeatedly while the NL240 copies the OS into its internal flash. This

process takes about 10 seconds. While the LED is blinking, the NL240 is

in a vulnerable state where a removal of power will leave the NL240

without a valid operating system to run. DO NOT remove power until the

LED stops blinking
