Bootloader CLI and ScanTool
To Load the Firmware from the Network
• Use the show command to view the parameters and their values, and use the set command to set the parameter
value.
To Get the IP Parameters Dynamically for Loading the Firmware
1. Set the ipaddrtype to dynamic
2. Run the BOOTP and TFTP Servers followed by reboot of the device
When the device reboots, the device gets the IP Address and Boot filename from the BOOTP server. You need not change any
of the default Bootloader parameters. After BOOTP succeeds, the device initiates a TFTP request with the filename it gets
from BOOTP.
To Load the Firmware by Using Static IP Parameters
1. Use the set command to set the IP parameters like ‘ipaddr’, ‘serverip’, ‘filename’ and also set the parameter
‘ipaddrtype’ to static.
2. Run the TFTP Server followed by reboot of the device
When the device reboots, the TFTP request is initiated with the value taken from the parameter “filename”. This request is sent to
the IP address set as "serverip”. In this case, the TFTP Server should be reachable to the device.
ScanTool
If you want to access the device with Scantool, then the host running the ScanTool should also be in the same network as the device.
The ScanTool broadcast requests are discarded by the routers if the device and the host running the ScanTool are in different
network. This means that the ScanTool cannot discover the device.
A device in Bootloader can be recognized by looking at the system description. If the system description does not contain any build
number in braces, conclude that the device is in Bootloader mode.
For example:
Tsunami MP-8100-BSU-WD - Description of the device
v2.4.0 - Firmware Version
SN-11Pl15010031 - Serial Number
BL-v1.3.1 - Bootloader version
