To back out of a completed firmware download and revert to the previous image, follow the same
download procedure you did before, except use the previous firmware vintage instead. The exception is
TN799DP (C-LAN) and TN2501AP (VAL), which have a separate procedure.
Reverting to an older TN799DP or TN2501AP vintage
To revert back to the old firmware image file on a TN799DP (C-LAN) or TN2501AP (VAL) only:
