TW-H6W1IR ISDN Remote Router ?? Send BootP request upon power up - if set to YES, when the router boots up, it will attempt to acquire the path to the image file, the TFTP server IP Address and the routers own IP Address. System Reset The system reset function enables you to reset the TW-H6W1IR without powering off. Some settings changes require a system reset in order for them to take effect. A system reset will not affect the router's settings, but will clear all tables including the routing table and all SNMP counters and tables. It is also used to initiate a software update. Software Update The routing/runtime software should only be updated if you are encountering problems with your current runtime software or you are certain your runtime software is lacking functionality contained in a more recent version. Downloading new software will only replace the runtime software and will not affect any configuration settings you have made. Upon running the new software, the router will be configured exactly as you had it before downloading the new software. The runtime software (image file) must be downloaded from a TFTP server on the LAN. If you do not have a TFTP server on your LAN, you can use RouteMan, the included Router Configuration Utility. This Web-based utility has a built-in TFTP emulator , which allows you to use the computer (connected to the LAN and running RouteMan) to upload the new software to the router.
