* These instructions apply to firmware build numbers below 1137. *
Firmware build numbers prior to 1137 would make the SRMS board ip address default back to 10.10.10.10 after a firmware upgrade. With firmware 1137 and above installed, the SRMS board will now retain the ip address it had before the firmware upgrade. SRMS boards with firmware prior to 1137 will need the ip address set manually before upgrading to build 1137 if keeping the current ip address is important (ie: remotely deployed). Carefully follow the instructions below...
Copy and Paste the entire line below into your favorite word processor for editing.
rmseeprom write 0 'BNDipFlag=64.141.73.229 255.255.255.248 64.141.73.231 64.141.73.225 auto BNDEND STOP'
The line above is the RMSEEPROM command with arguments to write starting at position zero the text between the single quotes. In the line above there are four groups of ip numbers. The first group is the IP address that the SRMS board should have after a successful firmware upgrade. The second group is the subnet mask. The third group is the broadcast address. The last group is the default gateway address. Edit the above line, changing the ip address, subnet mask, broadcast address, and gateway numbers to what you want the SRMS board to boot up with. Caution must be taken when editing the line above, make sure there is a single blank space between the ip address, netmask, broadcast, and gateway. Change only the numbers in between the single quotes. Check for mistakes; entering incorrect values may cause the SRMS board to boot up in an unreachable state forcing the need for a factory reset. (To help figure out what the broadcast address should be for a particular ip/netmask Click Here.)
After you have edited the above line, log into your SRMS unit with either the web interface, telnet, or ssh. For the web interface, go to the Setup area and click on the Command Line Interface icon. Paste the above edited line into the Command box then click the OK button. For telnet or ssh, paste the edited line into your terminal program or dos box and press the Enter key. If done correctly, you should see something like the following:
Write Starting! Addr:0 Buffer:BNDipFlag=64.141.73.229 255.255.255.248 64.141.73.231 64.141.73.225 auto BNDEND STOP Size:84 EEProm device opened for writing! eeprom pointer now at pos 0 Write Success!Now load up FireFox Web Browser and upgrade the firmware on the SRMS board to version 1137 or above.
When SRMS reboots, it will come up with the ip address you specified in the edited line above, and be ready for further configuration.
