Proper Version Upgrading

Phenomenon:
You cannot access the Configuration definition graphical user interface (GUI). When
defining the address 192.168.1.1, an error message appears.
Possible solution:
The new version has not been installed properly. There might have been a power
failure during the upgrade, or the new file was faulty or wrong. In this case, the router
uses a basic software version (called Recovery), which is always burned in its flash
memory. This version is not supported by the GUI and must be accessed using other
tools.
To solve the problem:
1. Check that there is no communication problem between the computer and the
router. Open a command line (Start > Run > cmd) and type: ping 192.168.1.1. If
the communication fails, there might be a hardware problem, either in the router
or in the connecting cable. If the communication is fit, continue to the next step.
2. Communicate with the router using the Telnet protocol. In the command line type:
telnet 192.168.1.1. A login prompt appears.
3. Type admin. The word Password appears.
4. Type the password received from your ISP.
5. Type version. The name of the file in the flash memory appears. If the name is
Recovery, this is the basic version. Continue to the next step for loading the
upgrade version. If the name of the upgrade file appears (like in the shown
example), this is not the case. Try restarting the router.
login: admin
Password:

6. To load an updated version when the GUI is not available, use FTP. Before you
begin, copy the updated version to the computer's C:\ directory. Open a command
line and type: ftp 192.168.1.1. A message appears: User (192.168.1.1 (none)).
7. Type admin. The word Password appears.
8. Type the password you have received from the ISP. A message appears: User
logged in.
9. Type ha. A message appears: Hash mark printing On.
10. Type bi. A message appears: Type set to I.
11. Type lcd C:\. A message appears: Local directory now C:\.
12. Type: put <file name.bin> app2, where "file name.bin" is the name of the
updated version file. The version file is being loaded. At the end of the process, a
message appears: Transfer Complete.
13. To exit type: bye.
