Firmware update via FTP - Howto

Here a small howto get new firmware updated via FTP.


1. Preparation Network

Method A (recommended):
In the router DHCP to ON, then the same in the HD1 under "Main Menu" -> "Settings" -> "Network" ... The HD1 and your PC will automatically reboot to get the correct LAN settings

Method b:
Manual setting of the LAN connection in under a) above menu
It is only the IP address and subnet important for a manual update via FTP

Example: Your router has the IP 192.168.1.1 and subnet 255.255.255.0 ... then lodge with the HD1 e.g. selbes an IP 192.168.1.111 and subnet 255.255.255.0 So
ditto then on the PC, but uses different IP ne as the router and the HD1 in the same address space ... e.g. 192.168.1.100


2. FTP Setup Connection

Used the TotalCommander as an FTP client, but there are indeed enough to others.
TC gibts here as a 30 days trial -> [Değerli Ziyaretci, linki görmeniz icin bu mesaja cevap yazmanız gerekiyorÜye olmak icin burayı tıklayınız]
