4.3 Firmware flash renewal and recovery
Caution: This upgrade process requires some technical knowledge. This process
can seriously damage your CS121 if not performed correctly. Please
follow the instructions carefully to avoid damaging your system! We
strongly recommend to use the CS121 update tool to avoid conflicts and
to safely update your CS121.
General information regarding the upgrading process of the CS121 - Known Problems
and Preliminary Precautions:
• Any update will cause a deletion of all former settings. The adapter must be reconfigured
after the update. The current settings information can be saved by using an FTP connection to
your adapter to save the upsman.cfg file in the flash directory to a local directory. This file
contains all of the information about the current CS121 settings in a formatted text. Do not
copy this file back onto the adapter after the update as a replacement for the new upsman.cfg.
The information must be entered back into the settings using the adapters configuration
interface. Note that the http interface often contains newer settings options that are not yet
implemented in the telnet and terminal interfaces.
• Any recovery should be made on the default IP Address 10.10.10.10. Put DIP Switch 1 and
2 in the OFF position before starting.
• Please avoid the use of routers and switches between your computer and the CS121, if
available use Hub (recommended) or a direct line (Ethernet-cross-cable).
Instructions for recovery procedure:
In case the CS121 is not running, has any defect or other problem, please put dip switch 1 to
OFF (Dip 2 should be always OFF) and follow the procedure below:
1. Before starting the update, unplug the adapter from the power supply (slot cards have to be
removed from the slot).
2. Set a route to default IP-Address. Command syntax on your windows computer: "route add
10.10.10.10 <your IP address>". Also note that the flash tool can also be used to set the route
for you by checking the set route check box in the update interface.
