ANS:
Download the newest software and unzip it into your local driver, for example "C:\temp". Then, confirm
the "flash.bin" (or flash_all.bin) file exists in this directory.
Restart the device by clicking on the <Reboot> button on Configuration page -> System -> Commands.
Caution: You must reboot the device before doing the following procedures; otherwise, some
occasional internal conflicts may endanger the Flash devices.
Start the FTP session and log in to the P500/1500.
For example, in our case for Windows XP:
Enter DOS by " Start > All Programs > Command Prompt
Change to the directory where the latest flash.bin exists.
Start ftp session by enter "ftp <Device IP Address>
Enter "root" for USERNAME, "pass" for PASSWORD as default administrator; you will have to use your
administrator's USERNAME and PASSWORD to login if you ever added a user with administrator
authority.
Set FTP to binary mode using the command "bin".
In FTP session window, enter "bin"
Upload the software into the device by FTP "put" command.
In FTP session window, enter "put flash.bin"
In FTP session window, enter "bye" to quit FTP session.
FTP session may freeze for around 1~2 minute to transfer and automatically upgrade the software.
Use "ping" to check whether the device is accessible. If you get replies after pinging, you then should
be able to access the device via Web interface. The figure of Command Prompt below shows an
example of the whole operation.
