- Click the [Open] button to get the file.
- Click on the [OK] button on the BIN File Information dialog box.
- Click on the [Upgrade] button. File will be flashed, and you will see a dialog box saying success - close Upgrade Tool.
- Put your computer's IP back to DHCP (Automatically Configure) and Vera will assign an IP like 192.168.81.xxx
- Wait about 10 mins for your new system to reboot and the ETH1 light start double blinking or it's solid.

To do after the restoration has finished
- If you have your computer connected to the ETH2 port of Vera, open http://192.168.81.1 and you will see the Wizard to continue setup your Vera.
- If you already connected the ETH1 (Wan) cable coming from your main Router/ADSL modem, the ETH1 light on front will go solid, meaning Vera is connected to the internet.
