APPENDIX A - FIRMWARE UPGRADES

Determine which firmware version is present in the module to be upgraded by viewing the index webpage of the module.

Firmware versions 1.0.3 and later may be upgraded via the configuration web pages. This upgrade can be done locally with a PC connected directly to the module, or remotely over a working radio link. For remote upgrade, it is advisable to reduce radio traffic over the link from other devices, as much as possible. If necessary, create a temporary separate radio network to perform the upgrade to remote modules. Please refer to the “Web based Upgrade” section for the upgrade procedure.

Web-Based Upgrade

Web based firmware upgrade is available from the System tools page by selecting “firmware upgrade.” Firmware upgrade is performed by uploading a “patch” file which is specific to the currently installed firmware version. If the device firmware version has fallen multiple versions behind the desired version, it may be necessary to upload multiple “patch” files. Once the patch files are uploaded, reset the module to perform the firmware upgrade. You will receive more detailed instructions if it is necessary to upgrade the module firmware.
