Alcatel Unleashed

Hi,

I am using these switches in environments to increase my customers up time by using this refurbished switches, versus best buy junk (which is what they would purchase). Most switches are fine, I just blow away the config and I am off to the races. Some switches are messed up.

How do I do a complete restore via USB of a switch?
Where do I get the software? Copy from another switch?
I actually tried copying the CF Cards inside the switches on a computer and that didn't work (I am sure folks are checking their heads).

I just need some newbie information on how to reset, reload (some of the switches don't have any img file) etc....

Any help would be appreciated!

Here is the directory of one of the switches I need to reload:

As you can see: I have no boot files:

[Miniboot]->ls
command.log
working
certified
boot.params
value = 0 = 0x0
[Miniboot]->ls "working"
working/.
working/..
value = 0 = 0x0
[Miniboot]->ls
command.log
working
certified
boot.params
value = 0 = 0x0
[Miniboot]->ls "certified"
certified/.
certified/..
value = 0 = 0x0
[Miniboot]->

USB recovery depends on Uboot/miniboot version because it was introduced as far as i know with 6.3.1 or 6.3.4(?) (or something similar).

If you have such version installed it should be doable.
have a fat16 USB that is detected by alcatel switches (check with another switch "usb enable" should output something as well as "ls /uflash")

for xmodem/zmodem recoveray use the search function here e.g.
