– Upgrading the Firmware in Your Barricade.
Upgrades for your Barricade Broadband are readily available on the Internet at
www.smc.com
. They are stored in compressed format to minimize the time it takes to
download. The files take one of two forms.
1. “Zipped” format – this format requires you to have special software in order to extract
the update files.
2. “Self-extracting” format – this format does not require any special software in order to
extract the files.
The preferred form to download is “Self-extracting”. This will eliminate the necessity of
having special software to extract the files.
After downloading the latest update, execute the self-extracting file which will create a
directory with the name “SMC” and copy the extracted files.
The actual update file has the extension of .BIN. This information will be important later
on in this process.
Once you have completed the download and extraction process you can start the
Firmware Update Process.
