Firmware Upgrade

To accomplish a firmware upgrade you will need the following software elements (it is assumed that you are using a standard
PC running Windows 9x or similar):
1. The latest firmware file for upload. Contact Solwise direct or your dealer for this file. DO NOT GO TO THE ASUS
SITE FOR THIS. Solwise have their own, special firmware for UK use. You cannot get this from the Asus site.
2. A terminal programme such as Windows HyperTerminal.
3. A BOOTP server programme such as Weird Solutions' BOOTP Server95: see

4. A TFTP server programme such as Cisco TFTP Server: see
http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/tftp
5. You must have TCP/IP installed on your PC and ensure that your PC is setup on the same IP segment as your router.
e.g. if your router is 192.168.1.1 with mask 255.255.255.0 then your PC must also have an address starting
192.168.1.......
You will also need a 9-pin to 9-pin serial lead. Your dealer should be able to supply you with a suitable cable.
