[mahesh-wijenayaka]

you need the exact FW and boot loader which is current installed and a running TFTP,

NT TFTP is attached, but you can use another TFTP

the first output you posted here, show

--->>> Version: 1.0.3

Boot Loader release.

so i'm assuming w/o any kind of warranty you are by fw 4.7.x

[mahesh-wijenayaka]

actualy this is a test box dont have a warrenty

there is two type of firmware version "standerd and enterprise" wich one do i have to get ?

[Antonio Bongiorno T…]

Short update!

Bootrom 1.03 was Supported for FW betwem 4.4.x and 4.7.x

At this Point, as mention in my preview Post, i would reload first the Bootprom trough TFTP, and then the FW.

Please Note, as fair as i remember here are different FW package available for the 1620 with and w/o compression, Standard and Enterprise.
