    Hi all,

    No question, just something I like to share on how I succeeded in upgrading a new 325. I read all the articles on mixed 205 and 325 cluster. And the trouble on first getting the 325 on the correct firmware level before it showed up in an existing 205 Instant cluster.

    This is what I did:

    X-over LAN cable between PC and 325

    Connect console cable to 325



    Have 325 new firmware ready on desktop of W7 PC
    watch boot of 325 and notice the default IP address of 169.254.241.188 (at least in my case)
    Put PC LAN IP to 169.254.241.10 (for example)
    web browse to the 325 IP and login with admin/admin
    from there, do the firmware upgrade procedure in the GUI
    During this, my 325 rebooted once, if I was not fast enough (say 3 minutes) in doing the browser connection. Why? I dont know. Probably some timer issue.

    Anyhow, after the upgrade I put the 325 online and it nicely showed up in the Instant cluster.



    besr regards
