9. 
Connect a monitor to the RouteFinder and monitor to make sure the install process does not show any problems.  If 
there are problems during the install, you will need to use Method 3 to recover. 
If you do not have a monitor, you can listen for the following beep patterns: 
• 
The first three beeps. These beeps signal that the system is restarting in order to run Rescue Kernel.  
• 
The second five beeps. These beeps signal that the installation is done. 
• 
The third five beeps. These beeps signal that the software is running and is ready to use. 
Note:
 The install process will take sometime. 
10. 
After installation is done and you have rebooted, you should be able to use WebAdmin to access the LAN port via 
IP address https://192.168.2.1 
11. 
Configure your RouteFinder with live internet access. Then perform the live update to match the version you were 
running. Then import the backup configuration file. 
 
Method 2 – How to Perform the Install Using an 
External FTP Server 
Assumptions:  
Your workstation is on IP address 192.168.2.2. 
The LAN port of RouteFinder is on ip address 192.168.2.1. 
1. 
Connect a workstation via the Ethernet to the LAN port of the RouteFinder box. 
2. 
Create an FTP server on the workstation and copy the RouteFinder ISO image file onto the FTP server root 
directory. Setup the FTP server with anonymous access. Test your FTP server with anonymous access so it shows 
the RouteFinder ISO image file in the root directory after an anonymous login. You can test your FTP server on the 
same machine by access IP ftp://127.0.0.1. 
Please contact our support@multitech.com for a link to download the RouteFinder ISO image. 
In the Jgaa FTP server, you will need to increase the number for allowing more FTP sessions and allowing more 
TCP connections. Change both of the settings to 10. 
Important Note:
 DO NOT perform Step 3, 4 and 5 if Rescue Kernel is already installed. Check to see if the /boot 
directory contains the file named create_netinstall_Cfg. If this file is present, then Rescue Kernel is already 
installed. 
3. 
Use SSH to access the RouteFinder box and use WinSCP to copy RFNetInstall.rpm to /home/loginuser directory 
4. 
Use the Putty utility to execute the following commands: 
Type in rpm -ivh --nodeps /home/loginuser/RFNetInstall.rpm. 
5. 
Type in rpm –e --justdb RFNetInstall and rm -f /home/loginuser/RFNetInstall.rpm. 
6. 
Type in cd /boot and ./create_netinstall_cfg. 
At the following prompts, type the responses as indicated here:  
• 
Do you want to use the network install (y/n): y 
• 
Enter the interface to use (eth0/eth1/eth2) : eth0 
• 
Enter the IP address (IP/mask); e.g., (192.168.1.1/24): 192.168.2.1/24 
• 
Enter the default Gateway [Optional] :  
• 
Enter the Nameserver [Optional] :  
• 
Enter the protocol to be used (ftp/http/tftp) : ftp 
• 
For FTP, enter the URL (IP address or domain name): ftp://192.168.2.2 
• 
Enter the ISO path and filename: RouteFinder3xx.iso. 
Make sure the file name is the same as Step 2 (case sensitive).  See the ISO notes at the beginning of this 
chapter.  
• 
Do you want an unattended install (y/n): y 
• 
Do you want to modify the current interface configuration (y/n): n 
• 
If you answer y (yes), you can configure the LAN and WAN interface to match up with your network. 
Note:
 If any of these questions are answered incorrectly, execute the  ./create_netinstall_cfg command again and 
answer all questions correctly.
