Confirm that the firmware was updated
Check the log file to confirm that the firmware update was
successfully applied.
1.
The zero client restarts automatically after a successful
upgrade.
Note:
If the zero client was On and in a session while the
firmware was updated, it automatically restarts after the
session has ended. The zero client does not apply the new
firmware until it restarts.
2.
When the zero client restarts, log on to the Administrative
Web Interface (AWI); see

When the log file displays, search for log entries that start
with ‘MCU’. Within this log entry, the FW: section (shown in red)
indicates the current BSM firmware version:
MCU :HWID: 0x85, Major/Minor FW: <0xNN>/<0xNN>, <MAC
address>
Your Amulet Hotkey contact can advise on the correct
firmware version number.

Upgrading multiple units
If you are upgrading the firmware on multiple units you can
automate this process.
Example:
You can use a script to discover Amulet Hotkey BSMs
on your network, querying the Address Resolution Protocol
(ARP) cache for known MAC address patterns. Amulet Hotkey
Technical Support can offer guidance on this.
(The ARP cache is a collection of Address Resolution Protocol
entries that map IP addresses to MAC addresses.)
7.2.5
Transfer the firmware package to the target BSM
Use a TFTP server to transfer the .bsm file containing the
firmware package. As an example, these instructions use the
Tftpd32 utility, available from
1. Verify that the target zero client is on or in standby.
2. Launch the
