Firmware Tools
Firmware management operations for the DeskPoint Pro include
firmware upgrade
, configuration
backup (
Load Settings
), configuration restore (
Save Settings
), and configuration reset (
Load Factory
Default
). Firmware upgrade, configuration backup, and configuration restore can be achieved via HTTP
or TFTP. Due to different behavior of different Web browser types and versions, HTTP-based firmware
management operations may not work properly with some Web browsers.
When using TFTP as the firmware management protocol, you can configure settings the DeskPoint Pro’s
TFTP client to communicate with a TFTP server. Ensure that the TFTP Server IP uses the same subnet to
prevent errors arising.
Screen capture to the left is the TFTP Server in Windows XP, the TftpSrvr. Please note:
After the dialog box of the TFTP server program appears, be sure to specify the
working folder within which the downloaded firmware files reside.
Make sure the Accept read requests check box of TFTP Server is selected.
The LAN IP address of the DeskPoint Pro and the IP address of the TFTP server must
be in the same IP subnet for TFTP to work.
After the firmware is upgraded, be sure to delete the contents of the Web browser
cache, so that the Web management pages can be shown correctly.
A failed upgrade may corrupt the firmware and make the DeskPoint Pro
inaccessible.
