With Browser - Dreambox DM7020 HD User Manual

9.3.2 With browser

With activated DHCP server
Requirements:
• PC with browser like. Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer
• latest Software for your Dreambox, downloadable under
• 1 networkcable
• DHCP-Server
You need the image file you want to flash (downloadable under www.dreambox.de). Image files have the
extension "*.nfi". You can't flash other images like "*.img" files. Don't try it - it won't work.
If you connect your dreambox directly to the pc you need a "Cross-Over" networkcable, if you connect your
Dreambox to a switch/hub/router you need a ("common" networkcable - a so-called patchcable. To flash a
new image, you can use the second stage loader. It must be present and not broken. If the box isn't booting
anymore, you can only flash it via the program DreamUP. (see Chapter
on page 73).
The following steps assume you have a DHCP server. Usually dhcp-server is activated by default in delivery
condition of your router.
If you don't have one, you have to setup an IP address in the bootloader's serial setup. (see Chapter
Without DHCP-Server on page 77).
Power down the Dreambox, either using "shutdown" and by switching off by the power switch. Standby is
not enough!
1. Press and hold the Power-Button at the forntpanel.
2. Switch on your Dreambox. (Reconnect power-plug)
3. The text *** STOP *** should appear in the display. Now you can release the Power-Button.
Your dreambox is now in "Stopmode".
4. Above the text *** STOP *** should appear an ip-address now, i.e. http://192.168.0.104. If
"DHCP" is still shown instead of an ip-address, the box still searches for a dhcp-server in your
network. Please wait a few seconds.
If there is no ip-address after about 30 seconds, check your dhcp-server settings and the cabling of
your network. If it keeps not working you have to setup an IP address in the bootloader's serial setup.
(see Chapter
9.3.2
Now, open a browser on your PC (Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer).
1. Enter in the address line "http://IP-Address".
"IP-Address" has to be replaced by the ip-address shown in the display of your box.
In our example it would look like this:
http://192.168.0.104
