On this tab, you can also set the ports used by the device for HTTP (web) and telnet access. You can also disable web and/or telnet access altogether by unchecking the boxes next to the applicable interface. If you change a port from the default port, you will have to enter the full IP address and port in order to access to the device. For example, if you change the HTTP port from 80 to 81, you must enter “http://192.168.0.5:81” to access the web interface of the device.
Download Firmware
The software offers a convenient method of upgrading the firmware on a device. To upgrade the firmware on a device, select the device from the list, and click “Download Firmware”. In the new window (Figure 14), enter the path and name of the firmware file or click “…” to browse for the file. The file should end in “.bin”. Click “Start”. During the upgrade, the freeView Power 80’s Red and Yellow LED will flash alternately. After the upgrade has been completed, the unit will reboot automatically.
Note: In the event the firmware upgrade is interrupted (e.g. due to a power failure), the unit will revert to the old firmware version. Performing the upgrade again will load the new firmware onto the unit.
