5. Software Upgrade

5.1 Using ADSL Modem Upgrade Utility

A user-friendly software upgrade utility is provided that allows firmware upgrade through
the LAN port (cannot upgrade through the USB port). You can see your firmware ver­sion when you first login to the ADSL Modem through the W eb Console.

1. Set the TCP/IP of the computer and

ADSL Modem to the same subnet (e.g.

192.168.1.1 & 192.168.1.2).

2. Restart or power ON the ADSL Modem

if necessary (wait about 30sec for the
self-test to complete). You can verify
your settings by using “ping” to the ADSL
Modem (e.g. c:\ping 192.168.1.1).

3. Run the ADSL Modem Upgrade Utility

on your computer and enter the ADSL
Modem’s IP, Name, Password.

4. Use the Open button to find the new

firmware file (“hex” extension).

5. Click Upgrade to see another window .

Check both Modem image and Con-

figuration

6. Click OK to start the firmware download.

7. After the firmware is downloaded suc-

cessfully , it will take about 40 seconds
to upgrade the ADSL Modem. The
ADSL Modem will auto reboot after the
upgrade is completed.

8. Enter the web console to restore fac-

tory default values. Click Sys-Mainte-

nance | Factory Default | Submit.

9. After reboot, all previous user-entered

settings will be cleared.

10.You may need to update your TCP/IP

settings and use the default user name
/ password to access the web console.

11. After the firmware upgrade is com-

pleted, you may use the Web console
to set up the ADSL modem again as
instructed in this User’s Manual.

5.2 Using BootP / TFTP Servers

About BootP and TFTP Servers

The BootP and TFTP servers are used to transfer the configuration and application
information to the Gateway through the Ethernet connection. The BootP server
provides the IP address for the Gateway. The TFTP server provides the application
and configuration for the Gateway.

1. Download an updated software image file from your Service Provider and save it to

your hard drive.

2. Make sure the HUB-PC switch of your ADSL Modem/Router is in the PC position (PC

Link LED should be ON).

3. Make sure the modem is connected to your PC through the Ethernet interface and the

Console Port on the modem is connected to your PC’s COM port.

4. Run a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal.

5. Run a BOOTP server program. Configure your BOOTP server. Enter the update

filename, the MAC address of your modem and assign an IP address to the modem.

6. Run a TFTP server program. Configure your TFTP server , for example, the root directory .

Most BOOTP and TFTP services can be used. Some software even combine both a
BOOTP server and TFTP server. (The following diagram should be regarded as a
general reference only. The basic procedures, however, are similar for any BootP
server).

ADSL Modem/Router User’s Guide 33

5. Software Upgrade

Enter the MAC address
labeled on the back of
your ADSL modem.

Assign a new IP
to the modem.

Type the location and name
of the updated FLASH file you
saved on your computer.

Make sure to select

Broadcast Reply to
BootP Requests

7. Press the reset button on the modem while pressing the asterisk key <*> in your

terminal emulation program. When you are prompted to “Boot from Ethernet, USB or
Flash”, type E because the modem is connected to your computer through the Ether­net interface.

8. The modem will then boot from the Ethernet and automatically start downloading the

software image file from the computer.

9. When the file is successfully downloaded, the main menu of the updated console will

be launched.

10.In Main Menu, enter 6 for System Maintenance.

11.In System Maintenance Menu, enter 3 for Firmware Update. The software update is

now completed.

12.Enter 2 to load the Factory Default Configuration.

13.The modem will restart automatically after the default configuration is saved.

14.The software update is completed when the modem reenters the Main Menu.

USB Combo Series

The optional USB Combo Series provides a USB port along with the LAN
port. By factory default, the USB port is disabled. If you wish to use the
USB port, the USB port must be mounted as a ‘bridged device” or as a
“routed device” on the ADSL Modem/Router. One computer can use the
LAN port and another computer can use the USB port. The computer using
the USB port must install the provided drivers for your W indows
or 2000 operating system.

This chapter gives step-by-step procedures on mounting the USB port
through the Web Console and driver installations under the Windows
erating systems. However, details on Network Services applied to the USB
port are outside the scope of this document.

Mounting the USB Port

1. Connect your ADSL Modem/Router as

shown here. The LAN port is used to
configure the ADSL modem/router be­fore the USB port is activated. After­wards, the LAN port (1) can be used by
one computer and the USB port (2) can
be used by a second computer for LAN
and Internet connections.

2. From Chapter 3, your Local Area Con-

nection for the LAN connected computer
should have TCP/IP settings similar to

192.168.1.10, 255.255.255.0

3. Open your Web browser (e.g. Internet

Explorer), on the computer connected to
the LAN port. Type the IP address (e.g.

192.168.1.1) of the ADSL modem/router
to link to the web console. The default
name/password is adsl / adsl1234.

status is None.

4. Bridged Mode: When the USB port is

operating in the Bridged Mode, there is
no need to assign any IP address to the
USB interface. The “IP Address” and
“Subnet Mask” should be left blank.

Click “Submit” to save settings.

Appendix

5. Routed Mode: When the USB port is

operating in the Routed Mode, you need
to assign a different (from 192.168.1.1
used by LAN port) IP address and subnet
mask to the interface. The PC connect­ing to the USB port lies in a different
subnet from the Ethernet network. The
ADSL modem/router will provide the
routing function between the two local
networks.

Click “Submit” to save settings.

6. The USB port will be activated after your

ADSL Modem/Router is restarted.

7. For a computer to use the ADSL Mo-

dem/Router’s USB port, USB drivers
must be installed as instructed later.

DHCP Server (Routed Mode Only)

The dynamic IP address assignment for a
computer connected through the USB port
is available only if the USB port is operat­ing in Routed Mode. Remember to select

USB interface under Network Services |
DHCP Server Configuration.

If you did not set Routed Mode, the Inter­face selection will only show Ethernet.

Installing USB Drivers

The USB port on the ADSL Modem/Router must be mounted before in­stalling the drivers.

The USB drivers consist for two parts, “ADSL USB VVBus” and “ADSL
VVB gateway”. After installing the drivers, the USB port will simulate a
Network Adapter in the system and users can set up and monitor the USB
port like a network card. Both drivers must be installed.

Installation in Windows ME

1. Startup your computer into Windows.

2. Connect the ADSL Router power port

to an electrical outlet and connect the
USB port to your computer’s USB port.

3. When the “Add New Hardware Wizard”

has found “ADSL USB Modem”, insert
the driver floppy into Floppy A, and se­lect Automatic search for a better
driver (Recommended) and press Next.

4. Windows will begin to search for the

driver and install it automatically. After
several seconds, a message will be
shown to indicate the installation is com­pleted.

5. Press Finish to complete the “ADSL

VVBus” driver installation.
