ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE A BACKUP COPY OF THE IP OFFICE’S CONFIGURATION
before performing this action.

1. Switch off power to the IP Office Control Unit.
2. Attach the serial cable between the PC and the DTE port on the IP Office Control Unit.
3. Start the terminal program on your PC. Ensure that it has been setup as listed in DTE Port Settings above.
ò Within a HyperTerminal session the current settings are
summarised across the base of the screen.
7. Power on the Control Unit and press the escape key every second until you get a Loader message.
4. Enter AT (note upper case). The Control Unit should respond OK.
5. Enter AT-X2. The Control Unit should respond 0x0200C000H Erase.
6. Enter AT-X3. The Control Unit should respond 0x02001000H Erase.
7. Switch power to the Control Unit off and then back on.

Within the terminal program you should see various messages as the Control Unit performs various start up tasks.

8. Close the terminal program session.
9. You can now use Manager to alter and then upload an old
configuration file or receive and edit the Control Unit’s now defaulted configuration.

Erasing the Operational Software
Do not perform this process unless absolutely necessary. If you want to upgrade the software this can also be done via the Upgrade tool in the Manager application (File | Advanced | Upgrade).
THIS PROCESS ERASES THE OPERATIONAL SOFTWARE and system
configuration. Before attempting this process you MUST know the MAC and IP addresses of the system, plus have a backup copy of its configuration and the correct .bin file for the Control Unit type and level of software.

1. Run Manager. In the BOOTP entries check that there is an entry that matches the MAC Address, IP Address and .bin file used by the system (the first two details can be found in the Unit settings in the system’s configuration file).
2. If an entry isn’t present, create a new entry. Then close and restart Manager.
3. Under File | Preferences ensure that Manager is set to
255.255.255.255.
4. Select View | TFTPLog.
5. Check that the required .bin file is present in Manager’s working directory.
6. Attach the serial cable between the PC and the DTE port on the IP Office Control Unit.
7. Start the terminal program on your PC. Ensure that it has been setup as listed in “DTE Port Settings”.
8. Arrange the program windows so that the Terminal program and Manager TFTP Log are visible at the same time.
9. Switch off power to the IP Office Control Unit.
10. Power on the Control Unit and press the escape key every second until you get a Loader message.
11. Enter AT (note upper case). The Control Unit should respond OK.
12. Enter AT-X. The Control Unit should respond Multi-Sector Erase.
13. The Control Unit will now request the .bin file it requires from Manager. This process appears in the TFTPLog.
14. When completed the system will reboot.
