Wac720 blinking led

[knarfer]

Hi,

i have a AP wac720 with a orange blinking led. normaly this AP is connected to a wireless controller.

it is not possible to connect to the ip address so i connect with a serial cable.

when the AP startup i can see messages like "Bad Eraseblock ..."

i try to upgrade the firmware to standalone version with tftp. then i receive the message network is unreachable.

is it possible to upgrade the firmware other than over network?

regards

frank
