ping-tech DM500S not able to flash image

[satinvader]

Hello everyone I have a ping-tech dm500s and I wanted to flash it with new image sifteam. However, trying different version of dream up, i'm only able to operate erase to the memory. At the moment, trying with dreamup universal, I get the connection to the receiver, which then is recognized, but when I try to flash the image the upload starts with a speed of about 10kbps, then it slows down (10-9-8-7-6 kbps ...) unitl it gives "upload error" .
I state that I have verified that the null modem cable is OK and tried the same procedure on two desktop PCs equipped with a serial interface.
Any advice?
thank you very much

thnx plaseter,
but i have performed an erase before, so i suppose DM500 doesn not recognize IP address anymore
anyway i have try to ping the dm500 after power up with LAN cable to last set IP but no answer!

What about cmd ?


To flash an image using Telnet
This method will only work with a .img image file.

* Rename the image file to backup.img

* FTP the image file to the /tmp folder on the dreambox

* Telnet to your box and paste the following command:

cd /tmp && eraseall /dev/mtd/3 && cp backup.img /dev/mtd/3 && reboot

To telnet, click START > RUN and type Telnet ip.address.of.dreambox A command window will appear,

enter username root and password dreambox.

loncell,
i cannot telnet my DM500.
I have performed an erase, so i suppose i have deleted the previous image.
In fact the bad thing is that i m able to perform the erase but not the upload of the image
