Upgrading the firmware of the modem (update firmware)
In order to provide the modem with updates, the so-called ‘firmware’ needs updating. In the menu, go to “Tools” and select “Update firmware”.
Here the firmware of the modem can be updated. New firmware can be downloaded from the Sweex website under ”Service en support”. If the
firmware file is zipped, make sure you select and extract the file first on a location in your computer where you can retrieve it easily.
Now click “Browse” and select the extracted firmware file. In many cases the name of this file will end in “...firmware.update.img”.
In order to start the firmware update, click “Update Firmware”. Do not interrupt this procedure. This may harm the modem. Wait for the upgrade
to be completed. The bar will have filled up and the connection between the computer and the modem will be momentarily interrupted. Reset the
modem. Subsequently, log into the modem to check the new “Firmware Version” in the “Home” window.
With the “Get Configuration” button you can view the current settings of the modem. However, to this end you first need to press the “Save All”
button to ensure the settings are properly stored in the modem. In order to reload this file in the modem, locate the file via the “Browse” button.
Now click “Update Firmware”.
Resetting the Modem to its factory settings
The Sweex ADSL 2/2+ Modem/Router Annex A can be reset to its factory settings in two different ways.
Note! After this, all settings which apply to your connection and network need to be reconfigured. After the reset, the modem will restart. During
start-up, the factory settings are reloaded and the computer will lose connection with the modem for around 30 de seconds. After this, the modem
can be accessed via the standard IP address (192.168.250.1).
• The reset button is located on the side of the modem. Use a thin item to press the button. Press and hold the button for 15 seconds.
• In the menu of the modem go to “Tools”. You will be automatically led to “System Commands”. Click “Restore Defaults” and “OK” to confirm.
Additional tips and further explanation to the remaining functions of the modem can be found in the English manual on the CD-ROM.
