A.7.13 Firmware Upgrade
Occasionally,
CTC Union
will release new firmware for their products. If new functions are added through
software modification or if programming errors are uncovered and resolved, those items will be listed in the
firmware
release note
which is included in an 'upgrade package' along with a detailed upgrade procedure and the
firmware image code.
The
System Configuration
menu is where new firmware may be applied to the
10/100A
. The firmware is
uploaded to the agent using Trivial File Transfer Protocol. Once the TFTP server's IP is configured and the image
file name matches the update image placed in the TFTP root or path, item #7 will start the upload process. Once
the image has been uploaded into memory (approximately 20 seconds), and the check-sum and image ID
confirmed, the flash memory will be erased and the image written to the flash memory (non-volatile memory).
Following successful flash writing (approximately 50 seconds), the
10/100A
will automatically reboot.
WARNING:
Never allow any power disruption during the flash erasing and writing process.
