Netvoyager Thin Client Firmware Centre

Windows OS (XP SP2)

• Download the Netvoyager Image file (.img).
• Download the correct .img file for your thin client as listed below (e.g. lx1012-5.4.4-0_rescue-disk.img for the LX1012) to a temporary folder on your XP/Vista computer. Ensure you use "Save File" and not "Open File" so that the file is saved into your file system in a similar way to the screen shot shows below.
  

• Check that the .img file has downloaded without errors:
• If you don't already have it installed download the winMd5Sum checksum software "Install-winMd5Sum.exe" into the same folder you downloaded the thin client image. Ensure you use "Save File" and not "Open File" so that the file is saved into your file system in a similar way to the screen shot shows below.

• Install accepting the default options. On Vista you may get a warning that the software has not installed correctly and need to confirm that it has anyway.
  
• To check that your .img file has downloaded without errors right click on the Netvoyager .img file and select the "Send To" menu item and then "winMd5Sum".
• Wait for winMD5Sum to load and finish the checksum (this may take some time depending on the performance of your computer).
• The "MD5 Sum" will be displayed and should match the MD5 Hash/Sum listed with the .img file.

• An automated compare is available. To use this copy and paste the MD5 Hash/Sum listed with the .img file below into the "Compare" field and click the "Compare" button.
• If the checksum is different you need to download the .img file again and check again. If the checksum is the same you are ready to proceed.
• Click on "Exit" to quit winMd5Sum.

• Copy the .img file to a USB drive.
  
• If you don't already have it installed download the disk imaging software (by author) for windows. Ensure you use "Save File" and not "Open File" so that the file is saved into your file system in a similar way to the screen shot above.
• Unzip all files in the .zip file into the same folder that you downloaded the thin client image into.
• Insert the USB drive which is to become the rescue image. If Windows Explorer opens a window to show the USB drive close the window.
  
• Run the disk imager application (e.g. double click on Win32DiskImager.exe). If asked to "cancel" or "allow" the program to run, select "allow".
  
• Under "Image File" click on the "..." button. Browse to the .img file, highlight it and click "Save".
• Under "Device" select the USB drive letter to use. Normal this will be the correct drive letter for your USB drive by default. e.g. "[D]".
• Click on the write button and watch the progress bar.

• Once the disk imager completes, wait for a few seconds and ensure your USB device is no longer being written to (e.g. no flashing LED).
• Close the disk imager by clicking on the top right hand "X".
  
• Unplug the USB drive WITHOUT using the Windows "Safely Remove Hardware" facilities.
• You are now ready to use the USB drive to restore PhoenixOS to your Netvoyager thin clients.
  

Linux OS

• Download the correct .img file for your thin client
• Insert the USB pen drive to copy to
• Open a terminal and use mount to determine the device name (e.g. /dev/sdb1)
• WARNING: make sure you use the correct name otherwise you could erase your hard disk!
• You need to be a user with administrator rights
• Unmount any auto mounted drives caused by plugging in the pen
• Copy image to USB pen drive

sudo dd if=rescue_drive.img of=/dev/sdb

• This should only take a couple of minutes at most.
