Serial Upgrade Problem

[jazzylover]

Hi all, I seem to be experiencing problems upgrading my modem using a serial cable. I’ve upgraded modems using serial cable before, but this one is proving to be a little bugger.


I start HyperTerminal, enter 2, but nothing appears in boot server and I get the output highlighted below from HyperTerminal. For some reason it just boots from internal flash.


Can anyone help? Thanks



Software used: HyperTerminal & fireball boot server (FTP Server)
Nic and ftp server 192.168.100.10

you need to add the bootline after you stop the modem autobooting, after the 2 type this all one line

enetBcm(0,0)admin:/opt/vwMIPS_1_0_1_fcs/target/config/sb4100/vx
Works.st h=192.168.100.10 e=192.168.100.1 u=jmcqueen pw=rickey7 f=0x8 tn=SB4100
o=bs1

have sure when you copy that bootline, its one continous line. on my tut it was 2 lines and could see why it didnt work until i deleted the space

Thanks guys, with your help I’ve managed to get it running. One thing I had to change was the reference to 4100 as below, as my modem is a sb4200.

Thanks again guys.
