7.9.3 Flashing the firmware/rescue procedure
Objective The entire mGuard firmware should be reloaded on the device.
– All configured settings are deleted. The device is set to the delivery state.
– In Version mGuard firmware version 5.0.0 or later, the licenses installed on the device
are retained after flashing the firmware. Therefore, they do not have to be installed
again.
Possible reasons The administrator and root password have been lost.
Requirements Requirements for flashing
– The mGuard firmware has been obtained from your dealer's support team or the
phoe-
nixcontact.net/products website and has been saved on a compatible SD card.
– This SD card has been inserted into the device.
– The relevant firmware files are available for download from the download page of
phoe-
nixcontact.net/products. The files must be located under the following path names or in
the following folders on the SD card:
Firmware/install-ubi.mpc83xx.p7s
Firmware/ubifs.img.mpc83xx.p7s
NOTE: During flashing, the firmware is always loaded from an SD card first. The firmware
is only loaded from a TFTP server if no SD card is found.
The following requirements apply when loading the firmware from an SD card:
– All necessary firmware files must be located in a common directory on the first parti-
tion of the SD card
– This partition must use a VFAT file system (standard type for SD cards).
To flash the firmware from a TFTP server, a TFTP server must be installed on the locally
connected computer (see “Installing the DHCP and TFTP server” on page 268).
NOTE: Installing a second DHCP server in a network could affect the configuration of the
entire network.
