: A new image cannot be downloaded using Bootloader CLI onto MP-825-CPE-50, MP-8160-CPE-A100 and
QB-825-EPR-50 as it does not provide a serial interface.
8.9.3.1 Using the ScanTool
To download the firmware image to the device, you will need an Ethernet connection to the computer on which the TFTP
server resides and to a computer that is running ScanTool (this is either two separate computers connected to the same
network or a single computer running both programs).
ScanTool automatically detects the device that does not have a valid software image. The TFTP Server and Image File Name
parameters are enabled in the ScanTool’s
 ¡ ¢ £ ¤ ¥
screen so that you can download a new image to the device. (These fields
are disabled, if ScanTool detects a software image on the device). See

Preparing to Download the Device Image
Before starting the download process, you need to know the device IP Address, Subnet Mask, the TFTP Server IP Address, and
the Image file name. Make sure the TFTP server is running and properly configured to point to the folder containing the
image to be downloaded.
Download Procedure
Follow these steps to download a software image to the device by using ScanTool:
1. Download the latest software from

2. Launch Proxim’s ScanTool.
3. Highlight the entry for the device that you want to update and click Change.

available when no image is installed on the device.
5. Now enter the IP address, Subnet mask, Default-gateway, Server - IP address and the image filename.
6. Click OK. The device will reboot and the download starts automatically.
7. Click OK when prompted to return to the Scan List screen after the device has been updated successfully.
8. Click Cancel to close the ScanTool.
After the download process is completed, the device will reboot and initialize. After successful initialization, the device is
ready to be configured.

You must also connect the device to a computer with a standard serial cable and use a terminal client. From the terminal,
enter the CLI commands to set the IP address of the device and to download the device image.
