8.4.3.1 Download a New Image using ScanTool
To download the device image, you will need an ethernet connection to the computer on which the TFTP server resides and to
a computer that is running ScanTool (this is either two separate computers connected to the same network or a single
computer running both programs).
ScanTool automatically detects the device that does not have a valid software image. The TFTP Server and Image File Name
parameters are enabled in the ScanTool's Change screen so that you can download a new image to the device. (These fields
are disabled, if ScanTool does not detect a software image problem).
Follow the following steps, to download a new image using ScanTool.
Step 1: Preparing to Download the Device Image
Before starting the download process, you need to know the device IP Address, Subnet Mask, the TFTP Server IP Address, and
the Image file name. Make sure the TFTP server is running and properly configured to point to the folder containing the image
to be downloaded.
Step 2: Download Procedure
Follow these steps to download a software image to the device by using ScanTool:
1. Download the latest software from http://support.proxim.com.
2. Copy the latest software updates to your TFTP server.
3. Launch Proxim's ScanTool.
4. Highlight the entry for the device that you want to update and click Change.
5. Set IP Address Type to Static.
: You need to assign static IP information temporarily to the device since its DHCP client functionality is not
available when no image is installed on the device.
6. Enter an unused IP address that is valid on your network in the IP Address field. You may need to contact your
Network Administrator to get this address.
7. Enter the network's Subnet Mask.
8. Enter the network's Gateway IP Address, if necessary. You may need to contact your Network Administrator to get
this address. You need to enter the default gateway address (169.254.128.133) only if the device and the TFTP server
are separated by a router.
9. By default, the IP address of the TFTP server is provided.
10. By default, the image file name is provided.
11. Click OK. The device will reboot and the download starts automatically.
