ELTEX SBC-1000 - Appendix A. Alternative Firmware Update Method

178 SBC session border controllers
APPENDIX A. ALTERNATIVE FIRMWARE UPDATE METHOD
When you cannot update the firmware via web configurator or console (telnet, RS-232), you may use an
alternative firmware update method via RS-232.
To update the device firmware, you will need the following programs:
– terminal program (for example, TERATERM);
– TFTP server program.
Firmware update procedure:
1. Connect to Ethernet port of the device.
2. Connect PC console port to the device console port using a crossed cable;
3. Run the terminal application.
4. Configure data rate: 115200, data format: 8bit w/o parity, 1 stop bit, w/o flow control:
5. Run tftp server program and specify the path to smg_files folder. In this folder, create smg2016
subfolder, and place smg2016_kernel, smg2016_initrd files for SBC-2000 (smg1016M_kernel,
smg1016M_initrd for SBC-1000) in it (computer that runs TFTP server and the device should be located in the
same network);
6. Turn the device on and stop the startup sequence by entering «stop» command in the terminal
program window:
