Flashing DM500HD with dream up - what you should be aware of
**********************************************

NOTE: Normally I would not flash using dreamup; use a browser like firefox
a. Switch of DM500HD, press the front switch and hold while powering on.
b. Connect with a browser to the DHCP supplied IP.
**************************************
But if the box has been flashed with a bad image,
then use dream up as follows.

The DM500HD does not have a serial port.
It has a mini USB port instead.
When using dreamup, it expects to use a COM port
to set the box in flash mode. This had me confused for a bit
as the DreamMultimedia website did not have any explanation
of how to get around this problem.
1. On the off-chance something might happen,
I connected the mini USB (dreambox) to a USB port on my PC
and got 'new hard found DM500HD'. I then let it install
the software for the 'new hardware',
which was reported as a 'composite device'
with nothing in the name to indicate it was a dreambox.
I let it go through all the installing software rubbish
until it said ' new hard is installed succesfully'.
2. Connect your dreambox to the LAN - FLASHING USING
THE SERIAL(USB) CONNECTION DOES NOT WORK
But you have to have the USB also connected to use dreamup.
3. I switched off the dreambox.
4. I then opened dreamup and a new COM port had appeared (COM15).
I selected this COM15 and clicked [connect]at which point dreamup
wanted me to switch on the dreambox.
4a. Tick the box 'Network Connection'
and set up the correct IP addresses.
5. Switch on the dreambox. It will now upload the flash loader
to the dreambox - wait.
6. Click 'Flash' and select the image you want to flash.
Then wait until it reports it has completed flashing.
If the network does not connect for some reason,
then you will get an error [Bad Request 400] in the
dreamup window. This will happen anytime you try to flash
using only the USB connection. Remember to tick the box
[Use network] in dreamup.
