Updating Software & Firmware
Updating the software and firmware inside AirCleaner is achieved via the built-in
Ethernet port, located on the rear panel of the AirCleaner chassis. The Ethernet Port is
configured at the factory with the following default values:
•
Ethernet I P Address 192.20.200.240
•
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
•
Gateway 0.0.0.0
To connect AirCleaner to your local area network (LAN), you will most likely need to
change the IP Address, and perhaps the subnet mask and gateway settings. To do so,
please refer to
“Changing the Ethernet Port Settings” on page 15
for the procedure to
change these parameters, then continue with the procedure below.
The software/firmware update process include three separate procedures, which are
detailed in the following pages of this manual:
•
Download and Unzip Files (This page)
•

Updating AirCleaner Software/Firmware - Download and Unzip Files
After you’ve changed AirCleaner’s Ethernet port settings and placed it on your
LAN, perform the following procedure to update AirCleaner’s software.
1. Press and release both the “SELECT” and “SET” rotary knobs at the same time
on the front of the AirCleaner chassis; this will present the current software
version and the model of your AirCleaner in the front panel LCD menu display:
Make note of the model of your AirCleaner. In the example above, the machine
is “Model-1” with “2GB” of memory. You will need this information to
download the appropriate software/firmware from the Abekas FTP site.
2. With a Windows PC connected to the Internet and to AirCleaner via Ethernet,
point a web browser to the following directory on the Abekas FTP site:
•
ftp:/ / ftp.abekas.com/ abekas/ software/ AirCleaner/
3. Once this folder is found, select the appropriate ZIP file with the desired
software/firmware, as noted in step (1.) above. The download files will be
named either:
•
“
N.NNN_1GB.zip
”
•
“
N.NNN_2GB.zip
”
...on the FTP site (these filenames will vary, depending on the software/
firmware version; where “
N.NNN
” is the software/firmware version number).
