Problem Details
In some cases you will need to update IP72 firmware before WLAN connection to the device is available. For that purposes you can use USB Charger for IP72 to upload new firmware or change phone configuration.
System Requirements
- USB-Charger
- USB-driver for MS Windows
- Ascom PDM Software in case you have an Ascom i75 phone branded as innovaphone IP72
- IP72 firmware ip72upgrade.bin or ip72.bin
Installation
At first install USB Driver. Plug USB-Charger to any free USB-Port on your PC and wait till Windows Device Manager ask you for Driver location.
Firmware Update
If you have an Ascom i75 phone branded as innovaphone IP72 with Ascom firmware installed on it, see Upgrade from i75 to IP72 .
Turn on IP72 turn connect it with USB Charger. Open new DOS Box and change to directory containing ip72.bin and usbload.exe and run:
usbload.exe upload ip72.bin
Do not interrupt connection to IP72 or close upload.exe!!! This can break the device!
Initial WLAN and H.323/SIP Configuration
To configure initial IP72 settings, You can either enter the information on the phone directly or use the "usbload.exe" command line application.
- Phone-based config
WLAN settings are reached through Menu-Administration-WLAN. H.323/SIP settings are reached through Menu-Administration-Registration. Use the Menu Softkey to save the changes made.
- PC-based config
Here the usbload help page:
usbload config /login user,pass (default:ip72,admin) /ssid <ssid> /wep-key <hex-wep-key> /wep-index [1-4] /cipher <none|wep|wep128|tkip|aes-wrap|aesccmp|ckip> /security-mode <open|wpa-psk|wpa2-psk|leap|peap-mschapv2|eap-md5> /passphrase <passphrase> /user <user> /password <password> /prot h323|sip /gk-addr <gk-IP-addr> /e164 <registration number> /h323 <registration name>
Here an example:
usbload.exe config /ssid myssid /wep-key 9512c9cc94b0fbab30e242dc7f /cipher wep128 /wep-index 1 /prot h323 /gk-addr 192.168.0.10 /e164 501
WLAN Options: ssid:msssid wep-key:512c9cc94b0fbab30e242dc7f wep-key-index:1 cipher:WEP128 VoIP Options: protocol:H.323 gatekeeper:192.168.0.10 reg-numer:501
Saving the configuration may sometimes require an automatic IP72 reset.
Please not that you have to run the IP72 in normal mode (not in charger mode) in order to use usbload.
Advanced USB command line
For advanced users, usbload can be used as a telnet-like console interface. Open new DOS Box and chage to directory containing usbload.exe and start usbload with
usbload.exe interactive
If USB Driver correctly installed and IP72 is connected to USB Port you will see login prompt after pressing <Enter>.
IP72 default login : admin,ip72
