Upgrading the Firmware
You will need to update your firmware if the old one is damaged or additional functionality has been
added. To upgrade the firmware, do the following:
1 Turn the SPEEDLAN unit off.
2 Connect the PC to the brouter using a crossover Ethernet cable, or using 2 Straight-through
cables and a hub.
3 Under the Network Neighborhood on your PC, change the IP address to 198.17.74.195
and assign a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0 . You will also need to remove any gateways
that were defined in your TCP/IP properties.
4 You will be asked if you want to re-boot your PC. Click Yes .
5 On your PC, start the SPEEDLAN Configurator.
6 From the File menu, select Open Config . Then, select the appropriate .Bin file.
7 Then from the File menu, choose Upload Software . A dialog box will appear with an IP
address in it. Click Scan ; this will bring up another dialog box with the IP Address of the
SPEEDLAN. This IP Address will be 198.17.74.254. At this point click OK , and confirm the
IP Address in the first dialog box is 198.17.74.254. Then, click OK again.
8 Next a menu will appear requesting a MAC Address, as well as a Passkey. You can only
receive these from Wave Wireless. You will enter these two variables and click the
OK but-
ton. There will be a sequence of dialog boxes, which will warn you that you are about to
reload the Flash ROM with a new .Bin file. Click
OK for all of them. This will cause the
brouter to reboot.
9 Allow the brouter to reboot normally.
10 The brouter has now been updated with a new .Bin file. You may now configure the brouter
to operate on your network.
