Bootstrap Mode
This mode is entered when the unit cannot find a valid
version of firmware in the flash memory. Alternatively the
bootstrap mode can be forced by holding down the Line
Hold button for an extended duration of approximately
8 seconds whilst powering-up the unit. The meter LEDs
will flash as alternate pairs until the duration has been
achieved, when it will show a set of 4 on/off pattern.
In bootstrap mode the unit can only be used to load new
firmware from the web interface or to clear all settings
back to the factory defaults. The unit will default to DHCP
and AutoIP enabled, in which case use the Sonifex Service
Discovery App or check with the administrator of the
DHCP server to discover the device IP address.
If DIPSwitch 6 is ON (up) during power up, then the unit
will ignore the dynamic addressing options and will use a
static IP address of 192.168.0.100
Connect to the device on our browser by typing ‘http://’
followed by the IP address in the browser address bar –
eg ‘http://192.168.0.100’. Now you can either press the
‘Factory Reset’ button to clear the settings to factory
defaults or upload a file. To do this choose File button
and select the correct download file. Now press the
Update button and the unit will accept the new firmware
and re-program the flash memory with the new code.
The webpage will display an ‘Ok’ message that will
automatically update to the new home page once the
program and reset functions are completed. The new
firmware will use any previously saved settings.
