The bootloader used in Dragino MS12 is Redboot. It is widely used in the OpenWrt system. You can upgrade to another redboot or OpenWrt firmware via redboot.

The redboot is available for Telnet access and its default IP address is: 

RedBoot> ip_addr
IP: 192.168.255.1/255.255.255.0, Gateway: 192.168.255.1 
Default server: 192.168.255.2

Procedure to access to the redboot:

  • Power off the Dragino MS12.
  • use an ethernet cable to connect your computer and MS12 directly.
  • set your computer's ip address to 192.168.255.x which should be in the same network segment as MS12
  • run a ping command on your computer and ping to the ip 192.168.255.1 continously. you should't get any response from this command since we didn't power on the MS12. :-)
  • Prepare to telnet to the device, the telnet port is 9000 so the telnet command looks like "telnet 192.168.255.1 9000"
  • power on MS12 and type the telnet command once you see there is response from ping command.
