8. Firmware Upgrade
As new features are added to the router you may need to upgrade the router software (firmware). This is done using the
Windows Configuration software via the console/serial port. Start the configuration software (see above for details).
Check via the Properties that the router has a valid LAN IP address. Make sure that the router is also connected via the
LAN to your PC (either direct to the network card in your PC or via your network).
Now click with right-mouse-button on the ADSL Configuration Tool
startup window and then select Misc Setting from the drop down menu
shown:
Click on Boot Code and select the boot rom bin file.
Click on Runtime Code and select the appropriate bin file.
Click on OK..
Next from main startup Window do right-mouse-button and then select Upgrade Firmware.
Now please wait whilst the new firmware is loaded.
After the new firmware is installed you are advised to do a reset to factory defaults and then re-enter your settings (this is
because the new firmware may use different settings) – see below on how to enter defaults.
9. Using Telnet or Terminal Mode
9.1.
Using TELNET via Ethernet interface
To access the command line interface via Ethernet interface, you can use TELNET to log in the Router from the local
Ethernet network using the Ethernet IP address that assigned to your ADSL Router. The Ethernet IP of the ADSL Router
is default set to 192.168.7.1.
Select Start->Programs->MS-DOS Prompt.
Find the IP address of the Router’s Ethernet port. Then use TELNET to login the Router. For example, TELNET
192.168.7.1
You will see that a telnet dialog pops up asking for password (case sensitive), then enter password ↵ (“password” is
the login password)
Then you will see the following prompt, EA-703 >
