BTW, the intructions there are not worded in an totally understandable manner, so here's what you need to do in a nutshell:
1) Get WinPCAP
2) Download the flasher updater (open-mesh-flash.exe)
3) Connect the open-mesh unit to the Ethernet port on your computer using a standard patch cable, but don't power the unit up.
4) In a command prompt, run open-mesh-flash with no options. It will list your network connections / devices. Note the number of the device you will connect the open-mesh unit to.
5) In the command prompt, run open-mesh-flash again adding a space then the number you noted in step 4 eg. if your wired Ethernet connection is number 3 in the list, type "open-mesh-flash 3" (with out the quotes) and hit enter.
6) turn on the unit. It will initialize for 30 seconds or so, the flash will start. it takes a few minutes, then you'll see "Done. Restarting Device..." That's it you're done. Plug it in to the network and in 3o minutes or so it will pull all of it's previous settings down (naturally, flashing the firmware erases all of it's config so you probably don't want to do this during operating hours).
