Open a command window on your computer and execute a file transfer command to send the AREDN firmware to your device.Continue holding the device’s reset button for approximately 30 to 45 seconds until you see the LEDs on the node alternating in a 1-3, 2-4, 1-3, 2-4 pattern, then release the reset button.Put the Ubiquiti device into TFTP mode by holding the reset button while plugging your node’s Ethernet cable into the POE port on the PoE adapter.Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer to the dumb switch, and another cable from the LAN port of the PoE adapter to the switch.Other devices may have different default IP addresses or subnets, so select a static IP for your computer which puts it on the same subnet but does not conflict with the default IP of the device. Of course you must also avoid using 192.168.1.0 and 192.168.1.255, which are reserved addresses that identify the network itself and the broadcast address for that network. You can choose any number for the fourth octet, as long as it is not the same as the IP address of the node. For example, set your Ethernet adapter to a static IP address of 192.168.1.100. As in the example below, most Ubiquiti devices have a default IP address of 192.168.1.20, so you can give your computer a static IP on the 192.168.1.x network with a netmask of 255.255.255.0. Check the documentation for your specific hardware to determine the correct network number. Set your computer’s Ethernet network adapter to a static IP address that is a member of the correct subnet for your device.The example shown below may not include the specific options required by your client program.ĭownload the appropriate factory file for your device by following the instructions in the Downloading AREDN Firmware section of this documentation.

If you are using a Windows computer, enable the TFTP client or download and install another standalone TFTP client of your choice.ĭifferent TFTP client programs may have different command line options or flags that must be used, so be sure to study the command syntax for your TFTP client software. Linux and Mac both have native TFTP clients, but you may need to enable or obtain a TFTP client for Windows computers.

Your computer must have TFTP client software available. Ubiquiti devices have a built-in TFTP server to which you can upload the AREDN® factory image.
