SPEEDLAN Installation and Operation User Guide
Upgrading the Firmware
You will need to update your firmware if the old one is damaged or additional functionality has been
added. To upgrade the firmware, do the following:
Hardware
1
Turn the SPEEDLAN unit off.
2
Connect the PC to the brouter using a crossover Ethernet cable, or using 2 Straight-through
cables and a hub.
3
Under the Network Neighborhood on your PC, change the IP address to 198.17.74.195
and assign a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0. You will also need to remove any gateways
that were defined in your TCP/IP properties.
4
You will be asked if you want to re-boot your PC. Click Yes.
5
On your PC, start the SPEEDLAN Configurator.
6
From the File menu, select Open Config. Then, select the appropriate .Bin file.
7
Then from the File menu, choose Upload Software. A dialog box will appear with an IP
address in it. Click Scan; this will bring up another dialog box with the IP Address of the
SPEEDLAN. This IP Address will be 198.17.74.254. At this point click OK, and confirm the
IP Address in the first dialog box is 198.17.74.254. Then, click OK again.
8
Next a menu will appear requesting a MAC Address, as well as a Passkey. You can only
receive these from Wave Wireless. You will enter these two variables and click the OK but-
ton. There will be a sequence of dialog boxes, which will warn you that you are about to
reload the Flash ROM with a new .Bin file. Click OK for all of them. This will cause the
brouter to reboot.
9
Allow the brouter to reboot normally.
10 The brouter has now been updated with a new .Bin file. You may now configure the brouter
to operate on your network.
