NOTE – The recovery process will need the following:

• Console Cable
• tftp server
• Firmware – Download the latest firmware on our website
• PuTTy

Step 1 – Connect the serial port of the DSR with your PC and an Ethernet cable to a port on the DSR and connected to a switch on the same network

Step 2 – Open the tftp server and put the firmware of the DSR into the root folder

For example: C:\Program Files\Tftpd64

 

Step 3 – Open PuTTy and setup a COM port with the following settings:


 
Step 4 – Once configured, click on “Open” to show the following:

Step 5 – Once you see the boot process and see the message “Hit any key to stop autoboot:” hit the enter key to enter the bootloader#

Set the environment variables (Copy and paste into CLI):

Step 6 – Enter the following command to set the DSR to the subnet of host


 
D-Link DSR-1000N bootloader# setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.162

Step 7 – Enter the following command to the IP of the host where the tftp resides


 
D-Link DSR-1000N bootloader# setenv serverip 192.168.1.168

Step 8 – Enter the following command to set all tftp transfers on LAN ports


 
D-Link DSR-1000N bootloader# setenv ethact octeth0

Step 9 – Enter the following command to firmware flash and erase


 
D-Link DSR-1000N bootloader# setenv firm_flash 'erase BDCA0000 BF99FFFF; cp.b 0xaa00000 BDCA0000 1D00000'

Step 10 – Enter the following command to boot firmware

D-Link DSR-1000N bootloader# setenv boot_firm 'cp.b BDCA0000 0xaa00000 900000; bootoctlinux 0xaa00200 mtdparts=phys_mapped

_flash:640k(bootloader)ro,9M(kernel),20M(rootfs),2M(AppConfig),128k(bootload-env)'

o setenv bootcmd 'run boot_firm'

Step 11 – Enter the following command to sabe


 
D-Link DSR-1000N bootloader# saveenv

TFTP the image and flash it:

Step 12 – Enter the following command:


 
D-Link DSR-1000N bootloader# tftp 0xAA00000 DSR-1000N_A1_FW1.09B61_WW (this is the FULL name of the firmware as shown below)



You should also notice the tftp server starting the file transfer (if not, make sure the firewall is disabled or an antivirus program is not blocking)


 

Step 13 – Enter the following command to run flash firmware and wait until complete


 
D-Link DSR-1000N bootloader# run firm_flash

Step 14 – Enter the following command to boot firmware
