Downloading new firmware using TFTP without WBM and CLI
Firmware
The firmware is signed and encrypted. This ensures that only firmware created by Siemens can
be downloaded to the device.
Pressing the "RESET" button
To load new firmware, you require the "RESET" button. When pressing the button, remember the
information in the section "RESET button (Page 33)".
Procedure with Microsoft Windows
You can download new firmware to the device using TFTP. To do this, the device does not need
to be reachable either using Web Based Management (WBM) or using the Command Line
Interface (CLI). This can be the case if there was a power failure during a firmware update.
When pressing the button, observe the information in the section "AUTOHOTSPOT".
Follow the steps below to load new firmware using TFTP:
1. Turn off the power to the device.
2. Press the "SELECT/SET" button and reconnect the power supply to the device while holding
down the button.
3. Hold down the button until the red fault LED "F" starts to flash.
4. Release the button as long as the red error LED is still flashing..
This time only lasts a few seconds.
The bootloader of the device waits in this status for a new firmware file that you can
download by TFTP.
5. Connect a PC to an Ethernet port of the device with an Ethernet cable.
6. Assign an IP address to the device using DHCP or SINEC PNI.
7. Open a Windows command prompt and change to the directory where the file with the new
firmware is located and then execute the following command :
tftp -i <IP address> put <firmware file>
Note
You can enable TFTP in Microsoft Windows as follows:
"Control Panel" > "Programs and Features" > "Turn Windows features on or off" > "TFTP Client".
Once the firmware has been transferred completely to the device and validated, the device
restarts. This may take a few minutes.
