If the ipaddrtype is set to dynamic, run the BOOTP Server also. The device will get the IP address and Boot filename
from the BOOTP server. You need not change any of the above parameters.
After BOOTP succeeds, the device will initiate a TFTP request with the filename it gets from BOOTP.
If the ipaddrtype is set to static then you need to run the TFTP Server. In this case the TFTP request will be initiated with
the value taken from the parameter "filename". The TFTP request is sent to the IP address set to the parameter
"serverip". In this case, the TFTP Server should be reachable to the device.
NOTE:
If the device fails in any of the above cases, it will pop-up the Scantool Interface, and waits for scan and change
requests forever.
If you want to access the device with Scantool, then the host running the scantool should also be in the same network as
the device.
The scantool broadcast requests will be discarded by the routers if the device and the host running the scantool are in the
different network.
A device in Bootloader can be recognized by looking at the system description. If the system description does not contain
any build number in braces, conclude that the device is in Bootloader mode.
