7.10 Download a New Firmware Using CLI from Bootloader
To download the unit’s Image File, you will need an Ethernet connection to the computer on which the TFTP server resides.
This can be any computer on the LAN or connected to the device with a cross-over Ethernet cable. You must also connect the
device to a computer with a standard serial cable and use a terminal client, such as HyperTerminal. From the terminal, enter
CLI Commands to set the IP address and download unit’s Image.
7.10.1 Preparing to Download the Firmware
Before starting, you need to know the Unit’s IP address, subnet mask, the TFTP Server IP Address, and the UNIT’S firmware
name. Make sure the TFTP server is running and configured to point to the folder containing the firmware to be downloaded.
7.10.1.1 Download Procedure
1. Download the latest software from http://support.proxim.com.
2. Copy the latest software updates to your TFTP server’s default directory.
3. Use a cross-over serial cable to connect the Unit’s serial port to your computer’s serial port.
4. Open your terminal emulation program (like HyperTerminal) and set the following connection properties:
• Com Port: <COM1, COM2, etc., depending on your computer>
• Baud rate: 115200
• Data Bits: 8
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow Control: None
• Parity: None
5. Under File > Properties > Settings > ASCII Setup, enable the Send line ends with line feeds option.
6. HyperTerminal sends a line return at the end of each line of code.
7. Power Reset the device (by resetting the power on PoE injector).
8. The terminal display shows Power On Self Tests (POST) activity. After approximately 30 seconds, a message appears
indicating, “Starting ScanTool interface, press any key to enter CLI 5” and starts a counter for 5 seconds.
9. If the above counter expires, bootloader enters the ScanTool mode. To enter the CLI, press any key before the counter
expires. Now a prompt appears as below:
Bootloader=>
10. Enter only the following statements:
Bootloader=> show (to view configuration parameters and values)
Bootloader=> set ipaddr <device IP Address>
Bootloader=> set serverip <TFTP Server IP Address>
Bootloader=> set filename <Device’s Image File Name, including file extension>
Bootloader=> set gatewayip <Gateway IP Address>
Bootloader=> set netmask <Network Mask>
Bootloader=> set ipaddrtype static
Bootloader=> show (to confirm your new settings)
Bootloader=> reboot
Example:
Bootloader=> show
Bootloader=> set ipaddr 169.254.128.132
Bootloader=> set serverip 169.254.128
Bootloader=> set filename <imagename>
