AAISP usually configure the router on their TR-069 server and run the upgrade before shipping, but some customers have been shipped trial-routers with the 8.4.4.1...
Upgrading from 8.4.4.1 is arranged by AAISP via the TR-069 CPE WAN Management protocol. This involves installing the "isp.def" as needed to persuade the router to connect to AAISP's TR-069 servers and asking AAISP to request the upgrade. Twice it has happened that the upgrade only partially completed, and it has been necessary to FTP to the router, re-uploading the isp.def, before it 'reports in' to AAISP correctly.
Firmware Upgrade via your TFTP server
In some cases, customers may want to upgrade their router manually, this can be done via TFTP or via a Windows program. Files available on request.
When setting up DHCPD, and example config is such:
host gateway { hardware ethernet MAC:OF:YOUR:TECHNICOLOR; fixed-address IP.GIVEN.TO.TECHNICOLOR; next-server IP.OF.TFTP.SERVER; filename "FIMWARE-FILE.rbi"; option tftp-server-name "DAN-T"; }
For a Firebrick:
<dhcp name="technicolor" ip="IP.GIVEN.TO.TECHNICOLOR" mac="589835 0876FF" boot="IP.OF.TFTP.SERVER" boot-file="FIMWARE-FILE.rbi"> <send-string id="66" value="DANT-T"/> </dhcp>
To get the router to upgrade:
- Power it off
- Hold in the reset button
- Turn on the power
- Release reset button when power light turns orange (after 10 seconds ish)
It will take about 5 minutes.
