Errors

Any errors that occur during the restore process appear in a red banner at the top of the

Backup/Restore

page. Typically, the only reason an error occurs is if a user has modified the backup

file. The following list provides some of the possible error messages.

n

Invalid file contents

: The file contents are not a valid backup format. This may be caused by

invalid XML syntax.

n

Element set_setting has extra content (name)

: The settings group name is not recognized.

n

Element set_setting failed to validate content (name)

: Incorrect value for setting name.

n

Other RCI errors are possible, but are less common.

Update firmware

There are several types of firmware updates for XBee Industrial Gateway:

n

XBee Industrial Gateway operating system

: You can download Gateway operating system

firmware updates for XBee Industrial Gateway from the

Digi Support site

. You can then load

the firmware through the

web interface

or

Remote Manager

.

You can only upgrade the gateway operating system, not downgrade it, through the web

interface or Remote Manager. The firmware image contains a certificate that is verified before

XBee Industrial Gateway accepts an upgrade.

n

XBee RF module on the gateway

: See

Update the local XBee Industrial Gateway firmware

.

n

XBee RF modules on your local network to be delivered Over the Air (OTA)

: As XBee

networks can involve a large number of nodes, Digi provides a way to schedule automatic XBee

Industrial Gateway firmware updates and manage firmware files. In the XBee Industrial

Gateway web interface, OTA firmware updates are performed from a page linked from the

XBee Configuration page. These firmware updates are supported for XBee ZigBee modules

only. For information on these updates, see

XBee network OTA firmware updates

.

Update firmware from Remote Manager

You can update the firmware from Remote Manager:

n

Update the XBee Industrial Gateway device operating system firmware

n

Update the local XBee Industrial Gateway firmware

n

Update the XBee network node firmware (OTA updates) from Remote Manager

You can also

schedule firmware updates

from Remote Manager.

Update the XBee Industrial Gateway device operating system firmware

To update the XBee Industrial Gateway device operating system firmware:

1. Download the appropriate firmware from

XBee Gateway product support page

. For more

details on firmware filename conventions, see

About firmware files

.

2. Log in to

Remote Manager

.

3. Click the
