Reset to Factory Default

If you want to reset the settings on your Gateway to those that were 
loaded at the factory, click 

RESET

. You will lose all your configuration 

changes. The Gateway LAN IP address will revert to 192.168.1.1, and the 
DHCP server on the LAN will be enabled. You may need to reconfigure 
and restart your computer to re-establish communication with the 
Gateway.

Upgrade

Figure 59   

Upgrade Screen

The Upgrade facility allows you to install on the Gateway any new 
releases of system software that 3Com may make available. To install new 
software, you first need to download the software from the 3Com 
support web site to a folder on your computer. Once you have done this, 
select 

Browse

 to tell your web browser where this file is on your 

computer, and then click 

Apply

. The file will be copied to the Gateway, 

and once this has completed, the Gateway will restart. Although the 
upgrade process has been designed to preserve your configuration 
settings, it is recommended that you make a backup of the configuration 
beforehand, in case the upgrade process fails for any reason (for example, 
the connection between the computer and the Gateway is lost while the 
new software is being copied to the Gateway).

The upgrade procedure can take up to two minutes, and is complete 
when the Alert LED has stopped flashing and is permanently off. Make 
sure that you do not interrupt power to the Gateway during the upgrade 
procedure; if you do, the software may be corrupted and the Gateway 
may not start up properly afterwards. If the Alert LED comes on 
continuously after a failed upgrade, refer to 

Chapter 6
