35The WSR-3018 allows you to upgrade its firmware convenientlyfrom the Configuration Utility. It means that you can obtainthe latest function and take most advantage of your WSR-3018.However, there is some risk when your are upgrading firmware,such as power failure. If, unfortunately, power failure occursduring upgrading firmware, the WSR-3018 may not work anymore.To protect your investment, SANEO provides a second way toresume the gateway’s original firmware before upgrading, andkeep the gateway working normally.To resume the firmware: 1. Connect the gateway to a computer, and then connectthe power cable. Assign a fixed IP address to thiscomputer within the IP address range of the gateway.(See Appendix A for detail instruction.) 2. Click Start at the taskbar and select Run. 3. If you are using Window 2000/XP operating system,type cmd in the Open box and press [Enter]. (ForWindows 98SE/ME, you should type command.) 4. Type tftp -i [host IP address] put [source]* in thepop-up DOS window and press [Enter]. 5. Wait for a few seconds, and the original firmware willbe re-loaded into the gateway. Then, you can enterthe Configuration Utility and use the gateway again.* host IP address - thegateway’s IP address,such as 192.168.1.254.source - the path andfilename of the firmware,such as D:\WSR-3018.gzh.Appendix B - Resuming the Previous FirmwareTip: Type tftp and press[Enter] in the DOSwindow can bring up therespective instructionfor its parameter.
