You may be needing to use a null modem cable if it's really RS232 as opposed to TTL serial..
If feasible, try swapping pins 2 & 3 on one of the DB9 connectors.
I ran by the nearest shop and got a null modem, that did the trick. Thanks

Excellent!
It seems you have pretty good shops down your way.
If the serial console can provide root shell access to the running system - files can be extracted.Is there any way to export existing new firmware and save as file by using putty or telnet and tftp server?
It's timing out, possibly because the tftp server / updater is not reachable on the network.PuTTY just can't seem to complete the download.

I'm guessing that the IP addresses you have specified may not be correct.
You should specify for the 'device' a valid IP address for your LAN. Maybe what the NVR normally uses.
And for the 'upgrade server' specify the IP address of the PC running the tftp server / updater.
Is that what you have set the PC IP address to?192.0.0.128 for the server
Is that what you have set the PC IP address to?
If so - the Windows firewall may be blocking access to the tftp updater. Try disabling it temporarily.
Normally you'd not need to change that, just use the normal PC IP address.
There is a networking problem.
Are both devices wired to a switch or router?
Why don't you just use the normal IP addresses on your network?
No need to match what the usual tftp updater process would use.
Maybe also try a normal tftp server such as the 32 bit one from jounin.net
The rollback block disallows installation of firmware versions older than the newest that has been attempted, whether it was successful or not.System version is unrollback !
Do you know what version was previously loaded?I dowloaded v 3.1.0 from the US site. Which one is the newest one I can use or should I use for my DS-7608NI-E2?
Do you know what version was previously loaded?
Ideally that should be the first to try.

No, what I meant and maybe didn't say it clearly was that the first firmware to try reloading would be the same one that had been already loaded.The first one meaning the oldest one?

Don't just jump to trying newer versions as that makes the rollback block even worse.
Use another command than update
Maybe help can help you
