Firmware Update

To begin the update of the ANG-1000 firmware image, press the “Apply” button at the bottom of the screen.

For users new to the process of upgrading the ANG-1000 firmware, you will observe the following behavior once you press the “Apply” button. It is critical not to disturb the ANG-1000 by disconnecting power or the interface cables during the firmware update process.

First you’ll see the following activity lights on the ANG-1000:

This indicates that the firmware image is being downloaded from the FTP source you entered in the previous screen. The photo shows a download from an FTP server on the external interface. These lights will be active during the time needed to retrieve the firmware image from the specified FTP server. This would take about 15-30 seconds on a typical connection. If there are no activity lights seen or if they are seen for a very short period of time, there was an error downloading the firmware image.

After the firmware image is downloaded, the new image is “flushed” or stored on the ANG-1000. This step takes about 30-45 seconds and the photo below shows the activity lights seen on the ANG-1000 when the device’s flash memory is being upgraded with the new firmware image.

Once the “Apply” is pressed, there will be a delay in displaying the next Web page for the ANG-1000 Web application. It will only be displayed once the firmware image is downloaded and the new image is flashed to the ANG-1000. After these two steps are complete, a status page is displayed to indicate whether or not the firmware update was successful. If it was successful, the Web page prompts the user to reboot the ANG-1000 to run with the new firmware image.

To start the firmware image download and update process, press the “Apply” button now.
