upgraded. A TFTP server is needed to complete this action.
Download procedure

as your TFTP server. This can be any server on the network or via an
Ethernet-crossover cable.

3G will need a TFTP server with IP address “192.168.1.2” in order to download the file

the firmware image named firmware.bin is accessible in the root directory of your
TFTP server.
