9.3 Updating a new software
9.3.1 With browser
Requirements:
• PC with browser like Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer
• latest Software for your Dreambox, downloadable under www.leontechltd.com
• 1 networkcable
• DHCP-Server
If you connect your dreambox directly to the pc you need a “Cross-Over” networkcable, if you connect your
Dreambox to a switch/hub/router you need a (“common” networkcable - a so-called patchcable. If your
dreambox will not start anymore, you are able to get running again with the help of the so called "‘Rescue
Loader"’.
The following steps assume you have a DHCP server. Usually dhcp-server is activated by default in delivery
condition of your router.
First of all, power down the Dreambox to standby and then switch it off by the power switch on the back.
Idle mode is not enough! Follow these steps:
1. Press the Menu-Button to open the main OSD menu.
2. With the Navigation-Buttons () choose the menu “Standby/Restart” and press the OK-Button.
3. With the Navigation-Buttons () choose the option "‘Standby"’ and press the OK-Button.
4. Please wait until your dreambox is in standby mode.
5. Press and hold the Standby-Button at the frontpanel.
6. The text "‘Enter setup?"’ should appear in the OLED-display.
7. After a few seconds the text http://dm7080 or alternatively an IP-Adress, e.g. http://192.168.0.80
should appear in the OLED-Display. If you still see "‘DHCP"’ instead of the above mentioned ad-
dresses, the box still searches for a dhcp-server in your network. Please wait a few seconds.
If there is no ip-address after about 30 seconds, check your dhcp-server settings and the cabling of
your network.
8. You can release the Standby-Button now. Your dreambox is now in "‘Maintenance mode"’.
In maintenance mode the Rescue-Loader of your dreambox offers the following functions:
• Online Recovery - The latest available software will be downloaded from the Internet and directly
installed.
• Show Information about the hardware
