Upgrading Firmware
The Diva 2430 contains special software, called firmware, that controls its operation. The firmware is stored in flash memory, which allows it to be replaced by uploading a new version.
Note: Configuration settings are not lost when upgrading the firmware to a newer version.
However, configuration settings may be lost if you upload an older firmware on the device.
The Diva 2430 CD contains firmware that may be more recent than the version currently installed on your Diva 2430. In addition, Eicon Networks posts the latest Diva 2430 firmware on its web site. An added benefit of visiting the Eicon Networks web site is that you can register your purchase.
Backing up Configuration Files
If you wish, you can create a backup of your configuration settings before updating your firmware. See Saving and restoring configuration files on page 43.
To backup your configuration, click ‘Configuration’ from the main menu, then click ‘Backup’.
Opening to the Firmware Maintenance Page
From the main page, click ‘Firmware’ from the main menu. The Diva 2430 displays the ‘Firmware Maintenance’ page.
