OTA Firmware Update Setup page
You can use the
OTA Firmware Update Setup
page in the web interface to enable automatic
firmware updates, uploading XBee Industrial Gateway firmware image files, and management of XBee
Industrial Gateway firmware files.
The settings in the following sections control how gateway XBee firmware updates are performed:
Update Settings section
n
Enable over the air firmware updates
: Enable firmware updates on remote nodes over the
XBee network. Firmware updates use a background process to query remote nodes for their
current firmware version, and update their firmware from files stored on the gateway. By
disabling this process, you can suspend firmware updates. You may want to suspend updates if
the update process interferes with applications using the network.
n
Automatically update nodes to the latest firmware version
: When a node reports its
firmware version, and a newer version of firmware is available on the gateway, schedule a
firmware update without user action. Use this option to automatically update nodes as they
join the network. If you do not select this option, you can manually schedule firmware updates
from the Firmware Update Status page.
n
Stop automatic updates if an update error occurs
: If an error occurs while updating a node,
suspend further updates of other nodes. You can resume updates by clicking Apply on this
page.
Upload Files section
This section controls the upload XBee Industrial Gateway firmware files to the gateway. These files
contain the firmware image used to update nodes on the XBee network. You can upload multiple files,
where each contains a different firmware type and version. Firmware files must end with an
.ebl
extension. Click
Browse
to select a firmware file and then click
Upload
.
Manage Files section
This section lists the firmware files uploaded to the Digi device, along with their type and version
number. You can remove these files from the gateway after all nodes have been updated. To delete
firmware files, select the check box next to each firmware file that you want to delete and then click
Delete
.
OTA Firmware Update page
The
OTA Firmware Update
page in the web interface displays the status of XBee Industrial Gateway
firmware updates for nodes, and allows you to update selected nodes with a specified firmware file.
This page lists all nodes on the XBee network, along with their current firmware update status.
