IP Office not taking firmware. 1

[Tistopher]

Hi All,

I was wodering whether someone may be able to point me in the right direction. I have a old IP 500 unit which I took from a site (suspected to be broken) but to be sure I decided to do a complete erase all of any firware it has. Now I am trying to load 8.1 back onto it using the ip500.bin.

I have created a BOOTP request in manager using the MAC address of the unit. Please see screenshot:

I checked and double checked this was the correct MAC address by running Wireshark. All I see it doing is a Boot Request by sending a broadcast. Please see screenshot:

I have no idea why it will not pick up the firmware. Please note I have set the working directory of Manager to the correct location of firmware, also I have turned the firewall off etc. My laptop is set at 192.168.42.100/24

I look forward to your reply.

Thanks,
Chris

1)Is the address is Manager> discovery?

2)Use Lan 2

May the force be with you.

Hello,

I will try Lan 2 in a minute, please see the screenshot and you will see my entries. All the system is doing in Wireshark is Boot request "MAC Address" but no matter what I try it will not grab the firmware.

Thanks,
Chris

TFTP enabled in Manager?
Go to preferences and check if it is enabled or not.
It should be enabled.

BAZINGA!

I'm not insane, my mother had me tested!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,

Feel stupid now, that cured it (embarressed) I thought something like that would be enabled by default :/

Thanks very much,
Chris
