System Tools
This System Tools webpage allows user to execute the following 3 tasks:
1. Upload Firmware
Upload the binary file POEB-x.x.x.bin (web/SNMP image) into the midspan‘s internal EEPROM
directly. Note that if a new version of firmware is released, in order to update, you first must use the
Windows TFTP command to upload POEA-x.x.x.bin into the midspan‘s internal microprocessor,
then upload POEB-x.x.x.bin. Please review Chapter 5: Firmware Updating at Field for more details
regarding TFTP uploading.
To upload web/SNMP image, using the Browser button to locate file POEB-x.x.x.bin, then click on
the Upload button. If the upload is successful, a new page will display the message <Software
Update Successful>. Click on the link referencing the site main page to be redirected to the newly
updated controller.
2. Reboot Midspan.
In addition to the Reboot button, there is an input-box for time associated with the Reboot button.
The Seconds input-box specifies the time for the boot loader to wait for a TFTP firmware upload
after a power reset. Read Chapter 5: Firmware Updating at Field for more details regarding a TFTP
upload.
Choose 0 seconds for a normal reboot. If you have uploaded the POEA-x.x.x.bin via TFTP boot
load, then a value of at least 6 must be input prior to clicking the Reboot button, then the page will
be redirected to the Reboot webpage. Note that the POE ports will be turned off while the boot
loader is waiting for an upload, however, if a reboot of 0 seconds (fast reset) is selected, the power
across the ports in use will not experience any interruption.
3. Restore Defaults.
The Restore Defaults button restores midspan to the factory defaults, and redirects the user to the
Rebooting page.
Review the following default settings for your Phihong midspan.
hostname: phihong-xxxxxx where ‘xxxxxx’ is the last 6 characters of the midspan’s MAC address.
user name: admin (case sensitive)
password: admin (case sensitive)
DHCP: enabled
