3. If the device is configured to create a network, the computer must join the
NL241 created network. If the NL241 has been previously configured to
join a network, join the same network with your computer.
4. Open DevConfig .
5. Select the NL241 under Device Type .
6. Ensure that the Use IP Connection box is checked on the left-hand panel.
7. If the
Admin Password
of the device has been set, you will need to enter
that password in the Administrative Password control on the left panel in
order for the connection to succeed.
8. 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.
9. Go to the Send OS tab.
10. Click the Start button.
11. 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.
12. The operating system will be sent to the NL241.
13. After the file has been sent, the power LED on the NL241 will blink
repeatedly while the NL241 copies the OS into its internal flash.
Depending upon the operating system that was previously installed, it may
take up to 2 minutes for the NL241 to finish updating the operating
system. While the LED is blinking, the NL241 is in a vulnerable state
where a removal of power could leave the NL241 without a valid
operating system to run. Do not remove power until the LED stops
blinking
