WAC720 Back to standalone

My English is very poor, this is translated by google. Please understand!
WAC720 requires Back To Standalone and runs multiple times in Console
Firmware-upgrade-tftp firmware.tar 192.168.1.200
The firmware can be successfully uploaded, but it is not always possible to switch back to standalone mode.
Can anyone help me? Thank you!

      Thank you!
      1, yes, WAC720 was previously controller management. Now the controller is broken.
      2, I have to press the reset button to restore it to factory settings, but this is not useful
      3, successfully uploaded many times firmware, but can not always run new firmware

      I have read the post you shared. But I don't understand the following:
      (So I found a command on the console to simply TFTP the .tar file to the /tmp folder on the WAC730. Then once it was in place I ran another script called firmware-upgrade or something like that pointing it at the same .tar file )
      He said after uploading the firmware to /TMP. What commands are entered to run the new firmware?
      Thank you again!
