immediately after the Digi Wi-Point 3G is powered on or reset, the Digi
Wi-Point 3G will enter Force Reload Procedure. This will erase the firmware
image. You must have a TFTP server to upload a new firmware binary.
4.4 Forced Reload Procedure
Use this procedure to force the Digi Wi-Point 3G back to default network configuration
values and download new Digi Wi-Point 3G software. This procedure may be required
when the current Digi Wi-Point 3G software is missing, corrupted or needs to be upgraded.
A TFTP server is needed to complete this action.
Download procedure
1. A free TFTP server can be downloaded from www.solarwinds.net
.
2. To upload a firmware image, the Digi Wi-Point 3G must be on the same network
as your TFTP server. This can be any server on the network or via an
Ethernet-crossover cable.
The force reload will resent the Digi Wi-Point 3G's IP to 192.161.1.1. The Digi
Wi-Point 3G will need a TFTP server with IP address “192.161.1.2” in order to
download the file firmware.bin. Change the IP address of TFTP server to

192.161.1.2, and make sure the firmware image named firmware.bin is accessible
in the root directory of your TFTP server. Power on the Digi Wi-Point 3G.
3. Press the RESET button.
4. Press and hold the RELOAD button for about 10 seconds immediately after you
press and release the RESET button until the Power LED turns amber and the
WI-FI LED turns off. The Digi Wi-Point 3G will delete the current firmware and
configuration files. Then the Digi Wi-Point 3G will download the firmware from
step 2.
5. After finishing this procedure, the Digi Wi-Point 3G will reboot automatically and
the POWER LEDs will blink amber.
After completion the Digi Wi-Point 3G will have factory default configuration. Please
refer to chapter 5 for the factory default values.

Can my personal information be intercepted during transmission through the air?
Wi-Fi features two-fold protection in security. The Digi Wi-Point 3G deploys Direct
Sequence Spread Spectrum technology utilizing the inherent security feature of
scrambling. Additionally, the Wi-Fi feature offers encryption (WEP) and authentication
(WPA Enterprise) to restrict access and enhance security.
What is WEP?
WEP is Wired Equivalent Privacy, a data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or 128-bit
shared-key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.
What is WPA-PSK?
WPA-PSK means Wi-Fi Protected Access - Pre-Shared Key. It is an enhanced wireless
encryption standards defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance.
What is a MAC Address?
The Media Access Control (MAC) address is a unique number assigned by the
manufacturer to any Ethernet networking device that allows the network to identify it at the
hardware level. For all practical purposes, this number is usually permanent. Unlike IP
addresses, which can change every time a computer logs onto the network, the MAC
address of a device stays the same, making it a valuable identifier for the network.

How do I resolve issues with signal loss?
Connectivity can change depending on the environment the device is located in. Such
materials as lead glass, metal, concrete floors, water and walls can inhibit the signal and
reduce range. You may try using a channel with less traffic in order to eliminate
interference.
