FSM7326P Recovery
Hey all,
New here so nice to meet you!
I've recently acquired the FSM7326P but didn't recieve any password with it, so went to do a factory reset via serial.
I erased current configuration, and then erased permanent storage leaving me with no firmware at all only the U Boot via serial left remains - i'm now trying to reload the firmware on it (Version 6.2.0.14) .bin file via XMODEM but to no avail, it just simply dismissed the upload and went back to the config menu. Am I missing something here? Am I meant to be uploading the firmware another way for install?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks.

Hi Nitro03,
Welcome to the community! :)
I inquired your concern to the higher tier of NETGEAR Support and just got a feedback. As per the higher tier of NETGEAR Support, the only option to recover the FSM7326P switch as well as put a working image back to it is only through Xmodem. Kindly read page 4-9 of the ProSafe 7300 Series CLI reference manual here about the format of the copy command specifying Xmodem.
If ever still it won't work, kindly post a screenshot of what you see or if you encounter an error message.
Regards,
