7.3 Upgrade via a BOOTP/TFTP Server
SpeedTouch™ system
software management
The SpeedTouch™ system software is based on BOOTP, a standard mechanism used
for booting diskless stations.
You can force the SpeedTouch™ in BOOTP mode, allowing a BOOTP/TFTP server to
manage the SpeedTouch™ file system, and submit upgrade files to it.
Important note
It is recommended only to use the procedure described below, if you are familiar with
the use of a BOOTP server, and the mechanisms on which BOOTP is based.
Upgrading the system software via the procedure described below will reset the
SpeedTouch™ to its factory default settings. Therefore, prior to performing an
upgrade of the system software it is recommended to back up the SpeedTouch™
configuration. See
“ Accessing the Backup & Restore page” on page 58
on how to
make a backup.
Before you start
You need a third party BOOTP/TFTP server installed on the computer from which you
want to perform the SpeedTouch™ system software upgrade.
Make sure:
That the SpeedTouch™ is connected to your computer via its Ethernet or USB
port.
A valid SpeedTouch™ system software image file is available on your local disk.
To disable your personal firewall software.
Depending on the BOOTP/TFTP server, you might need the SpeedTouch™ Medium
Access Control (MAC) address of your SpeedTouch™ device. To retrieve this address
see
“4.3.1 Information” on page 54
.
It is NOT possible to upgrade your SpeedTouch™ if you are connected
wirelessly.
