To recover an OpenStage (20/40/60/80) device, in case it is no longer operating properly, you can use a NetBoot server together with a TFTP server to upload and install latest software on the device.

This functionality can be used to upload either SIP or HFA software to the OpenStage phone.

The procedure is a little bit different than it was on optiPoint devices. The OpenStage phone needs three files in order to be completly reset. Therefore it is strictly recommend only to use the provided software packeges:

  • OpenStage Updater
  • OpenStage Software packages for SIP devices
  • OpenStage Software packages for HFA devices

Configuration of the NetBoot server

Start the NetBoot server via "START -> PROGRAMS -> OPENSTAGE UPDATER -> NETBOOT SERVER -> NETBOOT SERVER".

Main window of the netboot server


Click on "DATABASE -> PROPERTIES" and edit the "NETWORK MASK" to fit your environment.

Netboot Server Properties - Netmask settings


Edit "TFTP Server IP address" to fit your environment. For "Boot Image search Path" please enter a dot.

Netboot Server Properties - TFTP server settings


Click on "OK" to leave the menu.

Click on "DATABASE -> Add entry" to add a new entry for the OpenStage devices, like it is in the screenshot below. The value "Fixed Address" is the IP address for your OpenStage device and must fit your environment.

Netboot Server Properties - TFTP server settings


Configuration of the TFTP server

The TFTP server included in the OpenStage Updater software package does not need any configuration. It is completly pre-configured.


Starting the update procedure

Power supply via PSU:

  • Connect the OpenStage device to the network.
  • Hold button osk-3.gif and connect the device to the PSU.
