SpeedTouch™ System Software

Procedure

To upgrade/restore the SpeedTouch™ system software:

Step

Action

1

Make sure that your SpeedTouch™ is powered off and that a BOOTP/
TFTP server is readily installed on the computer from which you intend
to perform the system software upgrade

2

Configure the BOOTP/TFTP server to use the SpeedTouch™ system
software image file in its reply to BOOTP requests from the
SpeedTouch™ you want to upgrade.

3

To identify the BOOTP requests from the SpeedTouch™, you will need to
specify its MAC address and define an IP range for basic communication
between the BOOTP/TFTP server and the SpeedTouch™.

4

Set the SpeedTouch™ in BOOTP by executing the :software upgrade CLI
command:

=>:software upgrade

The SpeedTouch™ is in BOOTP mode when the power LED is solid
orange.

5

The BOOTP/TFTP server will reply to the BOOTP requests and will
perform the required operations to allow the system software to be
fetched by the SpeedTouch™ via TFTP.

6

After checking whether the received system software is valid for the
device, the SpeedTouch™ will start in normal operational mode to
complete the upgrade.
This step can take some time to complete.

The upgrade process can be followed via a serial console!
