The unit downloads the image file. The TFTP server program should show download activity after a few seconds. When
the download is complete, the LED pattern should return to reboot state. The unit is ready to start the embedded
software.
After a Forced Reload procedure, the unit returns to factory default settings and must be reconfigured. ScanTool can be
used to set the system name and IP address.
To access the Subscriber unit see Logging in to the Web Interface.
Download with CLI
To use the CLI through the serial port of the unit, you need a standard serial connector and an ASCII terminal program
such as HyperTerminal. Proxim recommends you switch off the unit and the computer before connecting or disconnecting
the serial RS-232C cable.
To download an image file:
1. Set up the TFTP server as described in TFTP Server Setup.
2. Download the latest software from http://support.proxim.com.
3. Copy the latest software updates to your TFTP server’s root directory.
4. Use a straight-through serial cable to connect the unit’s serial port to your computer’s serial port.
5. Start the terminal program (such as HyperTerminal), set the following connection properties, and then connect:
• Connect using: Com Port: <COM1, COM2, etc., depending on your computer>
• Port Settings:
– Baud rate: 9600
–Data Bits: 8
– Stop bits: 1
– Flow Control: None
– Parity: None
• Under File > Properties > Settings > ASCII Setup, enable the Send line ends with line feeds option.
6. Press the RESET button on the unit.
The terminal display shows Power On Self Tests (POST) activity. After approximately 30 seconds, a message
indicates: Sending Traps to SNMP manager periodically. After this message appears, the bootloader prompt
appears.

:
set ipaddr <IP address nit>
set ipsubmask <subnet mask>
set ipaddrtype static
set tftpipaddr <IP address TFTP server>
