BLUP = BinTec Large Update For updating to the new BOOTmonitor and the Firmeware Logic, BinTec will provide a single software file (BLUP = BinTec Large Update) that contains all necessary updates, i.e. the BOOTmonitor and the Firmware Logic (for the basic unit as well as for expansion cards).
Updating your BinTec Router
The update is carried out using the BOOTmonitor. To carry out an update of your BinTec Router Software, proceed as follows: Configure a computer in your local network to act as TFTP server. For a Windows PC, you can use the TFTP server of DIME Tools (see the documentation for BRICKWare for Windows which you can download from our webserver). Copy the BLUP update file (e.g. bl615.x8a) downloaded from BinTecs Web server to the TFTP folder of the TFTP server in your local network. Log in on your router from a computer serially connected and reboot the router by typing cmd=reboot in the SNMP shell.
Caution! The update operation involves the risk that if updating one of these files fails, e.g. due to a power cut, it may no longer be possible to boot your router, i.e. it is damaged. You would then have to send your router in to your vendor. If the update procedure is interrupted, e.g. due to a power cut or switching off the router, it may no longer be possible to reboot the router. The update procedure must not be interrupted.
How to Update to bl615.x8a with the BLUP1
Your router restarts. When self tests are completed, the following line shows: Press <sp> for boot monitor or any other key to boot system
