Upgrading RSM-8R4 Firmware
4.To proceed with the upgrade, select either option 1 or option 2. The AFS-16 will display a message that indicates that the unit is waiting for data. Leave the current Telnet/SSH client session connected at this time.
5.Open your FTP/SFTP application and (if you have not already done so,) login to the AFS-16 unit, using a username and password that permit access to Administrator Level commands.
6.Transfer the md5 format upgrade file to the AFS-16.
7.After the file transfer is complete, the AFS-16 will install the upgrade file and then reboot itself and break all port connections. Note that it will take approximately 10 minutes to complete the installation process. The unit will remain accessible until it reboots.
a)Some FTP/SFTP applications may not automatically close when the file transfer is complete. If this is the case, you may close your FTP/SFTP client manually after it indicates that the file has been successfully transferred.
b)When the upgrade process is complete, the AFS-16 will send a message to all currently connected network sessions, indicating that the AFS-16 is going down for a reboot.
Note: Do not power down the AFS-16 unit while it is in the process of installing the upgrade file. This can damage the unit's operating system.
8.If you have accessed the AFS-16 via the Network Port, in order to start the FTP/ SFTP servers, the AFS-16 will break the network connection when the system is reinitialized.
•If you initially selected "Start FTP/SFTP Servers and Save Parameters", you may then reestablish a connection with the AFS-16 using your former IP address.
•If you initially selected "Start FTP/SFTP Servers and Default Parameters", you must then login using the AFS-16’s default IP address (Default = 192.168.168.168) or access command mode via Serial Port 1 or via Modem.
When firmware upgrades are available, WTI will provide the necessary files. At that time, an updated Users Guide or addendum will also be available.
