From Purpose: So you tried to upgrade your nanostation2 (or other ubiquiti hardware) and managed to “brick” it? This should get you back on your feet in no time. What you need: • 3.3v TTL RS232 level converter (I got mine from mouser.com) This is one suggested by another tutorial. • Some type of pin adapter or a few pin headers you don't mind taking apart. • x-acto Knife Sections: • Preparing the Serial Connection & getting connected. • Connecting to the Serial Console from your computer. • Putting the redboot into recovery mode.

Flashing Nanostation 5 from Windows 7 using Serial Port to put in Recovery. Iam trying to do that without serial port but when I plug the cable from power adapter. Ultraiso Full Version Crack.

I've read some post about existing serial port inside the NS2 and certainly others as well. According to other forums and CPE, it could be possible. What is the nanostation secondary port used for, DtD? Can PoE pass-through be turned on/off? Flashing Nanostation 5 from Windows 7 using Serial Port to put in Recovery Mode and tftp over Ethernet cable to flash the firmware.

• Uploading the firmware. • Conclusion. Preparing the serial connection. Please not that most of this information was taken from here: I have compiled all of this information in one place to try to make this process as easy as possible. Your level converter needs to be pinned to match the pin-out of the unit.

Lets first remove the cables pins from the connector. Using your x-acto knife, lift the little plastic flap, and pull out the wire, for each wire. Set the connector aside. Now, you'll see the board has a 10 pin header on it, with labels for each pin. The ones you care about are HSIN,HSOUT,and GND.

• HSIN connects to your cable's TX • HSOUT connects to your cable's RX • GND connects to your cable's GND Make sure you get the correct pins on your RS-232 cable. You can find them by looking for the “Data Sheet” of the adapter you order. It should have the pins listed with what they do and what colors they are. This is VERY IMPORTANT! On my cable the following are the pinouts.

Again, make sure to look at YOUR datasheet! You could possibly damage your hardware if you do not do this correctly!

• HSIN → TX (Orange Pin 4) • HSOUT → RX (Yellow Pin 5) • GND → GND (Black Pin 1) Once you have built a small “adapter” to connect to your on-board serial proceed on to using your computer to connect to the serial console. Connecting from the Terminal on your computer. First plug your RS-232 cable into your computer (Linux or Windows) so that it will have a chance to identify drivers for the device. Next, Open up your favorite hyper terminal/console program. Because im on linux I prefer “minicom” on windows you may be likely to use “HyperTerminal”.

If you are on a version of windows without hyper terminal you can use “putty” as well. Again, Most of the following information was taken from here: For any terminal program, the important (default) settings are: • Baud Rate: 9600 • Data Bits: 8 • Stop Bits: 1 • Parity: None • Flow Control: None Identifying the com port on both windows and linix is rather easy, you will need to know this when setting up your Terminal clinet. Linux: • At command type the following: >dmesg grep TTYUSB • You should get an output of something like: >ttyUSB0 or ttyUSB1.etc Windows: • Right click “Computer” or “My Computer”.
