Firmware Upgrade screen
Firmware Upgrade: This button provides the user with an option to download firmware to upgrade or downgrade across PIB and FW versions. See following description of the Upgrade behavior. The upgrade functionality provides the user with a simple means to migrate back and forth between firmware versions. Clicking on the Firmware Upgrade button will first read the PIB running on the device. An abbreviated set of personality attributes will be retained which includes: MAC address, NMK, and DAK. The user is prompted to select a new PIB with the appearance of a browse window. The selected PIB will be modified with the retained personality information, previously read from the running device. The user must next select the new firmware with the appearance of a browse window. The selected PIB will establish a version for which this selected firmware must match in terms of PIB compatibility.
Warning – configuration information exclusive of the abbreviated set of
personality information will not migrate to the new PIB. The new PIB and firmware will be downloaded to the device and committed. The device will reset and the new firmware should start running as evidenced by the version string textbox at the bottom center of the form.
Reset Device: Clicking on this button will force a device reset.
Factory Defaults: Clicking on this button will restore the factory defaults.
