Boot Loader CLI and ScanTool
Tsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 205
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 values to the
parameters as per the requirement.
To Get the IP Parameters Dynamically for Loading the Firmware
1. Set the ipaddrtype to dynamic.
2. Run the BOOTP and TFTP Servers along with a reboot of the unit.
When the device reboots, the device gets the IP Address and Boot filename from the BOOTP server. You need not change any
of the above 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 along with a reboot of the unit.
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 to the parameter "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 Boot Loader 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 Boot Loader mode.
For example:
Tsunami QB-8100 End Point is the name of the board
WD is the Regulatory Domain
V2.5.0 is the Firmware Version
303160 is the firmware build number
