Upgrading the Firmware
The AP firmware may be upgraded to resolve any bugs found in the
software or to add new functions. Contact CONTEC via our web
site or information center for details of the latest firmware.
Performing an Upgrade Using SmartMedia
(1) Obtain the SmartMedia containing the firmware.
(2) Place a write-protect seal on the SmartMedia.
(3) Gently insert the SmartMedia into the SmartMedia slot on the
AP.
(4) The AP reads the firmware from the SmartMedia automatically.
During this time, all LEDs other than the BUSY LED blink.
Note!
Do not turn off the power or eject the SmartMedia while the LEDs
are flashing as this may cause an unrecoverable fault.
(5) When reading completes, the three LEDs on the front of the
AP turn on. Once these LEDs have turned on, remove the
SmartMedia. This causes the AP to reboot automatically and
apply the upgrade.
Performing an Upgrade Using TFTP
(1) Start TFTP.
(2) Select “Send File to AP (AP
←
PC)”, then click the “OK”
button.
(3) Select “Firmware” from the “File to Transfer” box.
(4) Enter the IP address of the AP in the “AP IP Address” field.
(5) Enter the location of the firmware file in the “Path Name of
File to Transfer” field.
(6) Click the OK button.
(7) When file transfer completes, click the “Exit” button.
(8) To run the new firmware on the AP, you need to reboot the AP.
