Firmware Recovery:
When the firmware in non-volatile memory is damaged, the AAM1008-61 uses BOOTP/TFTP to
recover in boot-time through its built-in BOOTP/TFTP client. To recover the firmware, first download
the
recovery firmware
(the file with “
bin
” extension name) from the ZyXEL web site and store it on
your computer. You can use any BOOTP/TFTP server (for example, BootpTftp.exe) to recover
AAM1008-61 firmware. The recovery procedure for server BootpTftp.exe is as follows:
1. Connect your AAM1008-61’s LAN port to a PC’s LAN port through the Ethernet cable.
2. Connect your AAM1008-61’s console port to a PC’s serial port through the RS-232 cable.
3. Run any terminal emulation program, e.g., Windows’ built-in HyperTerminal, with the following
parameters:
-
VT100 terminal emulation
- 9600
bps
