Uploading and Installing Firmware to KUMO
Uploading and installing the software update only requires a PC or Mac that can
“see” the KUMO via its browser. Follow this procedure to install the software:
1. Launch a browser on your PC or Mac and connect to the KUMO product that
requires a firmware update.
2. Once the KUMO web page is visible, click on the
FIRMWARE
tab.
3. Then click on the
Choose File
button to locate the KUMO firmware image
file on your PC or Mac.

4. When you have selected a valid KUMO firmware file, click
Open
and then
OK
. The file you select will upload to the KUMO and be tested for validity.
Incomplete, corrupted, or non-KUMO software files are rejected.
5. When the upload completes you will be asked if you want to commit the
firmware to flash. Click
Commit Uploaded Firmware
. The firmware will be
loaded to flash. Wait for this to complete.
6. When done, click the
Restart
button to restart your KUMO and refresh the
web browser and KUMO UI.

Once these steps are complete, the KUMO will be running the software you just
uploaded. The configuration of the KUMO prior to the upgrade is preserved.
Verify the new software is running by bringing up the KUMO web page again.
Check the Firmware page for the current version number. The restart and refresh
cycle may take a couple of minutes. If the firmware version does not display the
new version, perform the update steps again.
