The WSR-3018 allows you to upgrade its firmware conveniently
from the Configuration Utility. It means that you can obtain
the latest function and take most advantage of your WSR-3018.
However, there is some risk when your are upgrading firmware,
such as power failure. If, unfortunately, power failure occurs
during upgrading firmware, the WSR-3018 may not work anymore.
To protect your investment, SANEO provides a second way to
resume the gateway's original firmware before upgrading, and
keep the gateway working normally.
To resume the firmware:
1.
Connect the gateway to a computer, and then connect
the power cable. Assign a fixed IP address to this
computer within the IP address range of the gateway.
(See Appendix A for detail instruction.)
2.
Click Start at the taskbar and select Run.
3.
If you are using Window 2000/XP operating system,
type
cmd
in the Open box and press [Enter]. (For
Windows 98SE/ME, you should type command.)
4.
Type
tftp -i [host IP address] put
pop-up DOS window and press [Enter].
5.
Wait for a few seconds, and the original firmware will
be re-loaded into the gateway. Then, you can enter
the Configuration Utility and use the gateway again.
