Upgrade the Firmware and Refresh Web Pages
After the binary file is uploaded to the communications module, the final step is an automatic process that
upgrades the firmware and refreshes the Web pages.
The communications module reboots and, in Bootloader mode, detects a new available image, checks validity
of this image, and launches the upgrade of the firmware and refresh the Web pages. As the upgrade processes,
a message box displays with percent completed.
When completed, an upgrade message displays
F/W: 100%
, and the communications module reboots with the
new firmware and refreshed Web pages.

The FTP upgrade occurs in two stages:
l
Upload the binary file
