Problem
Netinstall not working
Solution
Ensure that access is not blocked to the device. Preferable steps for Netinstall to work:
- Directly connect the Ethernet port of the device to the PC.
- Both devices are on the same subnet.
- Disable the Windows/Linux firewall.
- Disable any antivirus programs.
- Make sure you press the reset button correct correctly to bring the device to the Netinstall state.

- Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP.
- Having the device connected through a switch to the computer, in rare cases, can help to bypass hardware incompatibility. Netinstall uses bootp packets, which use the same port numbers as DHCP packets. If you're using a switch between your PC and the device to be Netinstalled, ensure that the ports in the bridge are not blocked by other network devices. If you have dhcp-snooping enabled, make sure to enable "trusted" on the bridge ports facing the Netinstall PC.
