Upgrade Firmware
Using the TFTP Utility (Recommended)
The XC-DPG503 Twin WAN Router supports the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP). This is mainly used to upload the firmware to the device. It can also be used to save and upload the configuration and reset the router to defaults. This guide will show you how to perform all those actions along with the proper procedure for upgrading your XC-DPG503 to the latest firmware release.
Updating the Firmware
To update the firmware on your XC-DPG503 you must first download the firmware from the XiNCOM Support web page (http://www.xincom.com/support) You will need an unzipping utility such as WinZip (www.winzip.com) or WinRAR (www.rarlab.com) to extract the contents of the file. Included will be a README file (usually README.txt), TFTP (tftp.exe) utility and the firmware file ({name}. bin).
Backup your configuration
When you update the firmware on the XC-DPG503 the default configuration overwrites any settings that you previously entered into the router. You will need to save the configuration of the file to the router. There are two ways to do this, the TFTP utility and the HTTP user interface. This section covers only the TFTP utility, you can learn how to update using the HTTP utility in the Admin Control section.
To save the XC-DPG503 Configuration to a file:
1.Open the TFTP utility by double clicking on it.
2.Enter the routers IP address (Default is: 192.168.1.1)
3.Enter a file name that you would like to save the file as (Example: config-file.bin).
4.Press the Upload button and the file will be saved to the same directory as the TFTP utility.
