Upgrading Firmware

The Diva 2440 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 to the device.

The Diva CD-ROM contains firmware that may be newer or older than the version currently installed on your Diva 2440. In addition, Eicon Networks posts the latest Diva 2440 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 Configurations – Saving, Restoring, and Resetting on page 40.

Opening to the Firmware Maintenance Page

From the main menu, click the ‘Firmware’ link (bottom left of the screen). The Diva 2440 displays the ‘Firmware Maintenance’ page.

Retrieving Firmware from the Eicon Networks Web Site
