7.9 Upgrade a New Firmware Using ScanTool in Bootloader Mode
To download the unit’s firmware, 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 detects if a device does not have a valid software firmware installed. In this case, the TFTP Server and Image File
Name parameters are enabled in the ScanTool’s Change screen so you can download a new firmware to the unit. (These fields
are grayed out if ScanTool does not detect a software firmware problem.)
NOTE: If you are unable to view the configuration parameters in ScanTool, it means that the device is not responding
to your network. Hard reset the unit by unplugging and plugging the Power cable to PoE injector.
7.9.1 Preparing to Download the Firmware
Before starting, you need to know the unit’s IP address, subnet mask, the TFTP Server IP Address, and the unit’s firmware
name. Make sure the TFTP server is running and configured to point to the folder containing the image to be downloaded.
7.9.1.1 Download Procedure
Follow these steps to use ScanTool to download the firmware to a device with a missing firmware:
1. Download the latest software from http://support.proxim.com.
2. Copy the latest software updates to your TFTP server.
3. Launch ScanTool.
4. Highlight the entry for the device you want to update and click Change.
5. Set the IP address type as per your choice, either Static or Dynamic.
Setting IP Addrtype to static:
Set IP Address Type to Static.
– Enter an unused IP address that is valid on your network in the IP Address field. You may need to contact your
network administrator to get this address.
– Enter the network's Subnet Mask in the field provided.
– Enter the network's Gateway IP Address, if necessary. You may need to contact your network administrator to get
this address. You should only enter the default gateway address (169.254.128.132) if the device and the TFTP
server are separated by a router.
– Enter the IP address of your TFTP server in the field provided.
– Enter the Image File Name (including the file extension). Enter the full directory path and file name. If the file is
located in the default TFTP directory, you need to enter only the file name.
Setting IP Addrtype to dynamic:
– Set IP Addrtype to Dynamic.
– Start a tftp server and bootp server and enter all the configuration parameters (ipaddr, subnet mask etc).
6. Click OK. The device will reboot and the download will begin automatically. You should see downloading activity
within the TFTP server's status screen.
7. Click OK when prompted that the device has been updated successfully to return to the Scan List screen.
8. Click Cancel to close the ScanTool.
9. When the download process is complete, configure the device as desired.
