Appendix A - FIRMWARE UPGRADE
Determine the firmware version present in the module to be upgraded by viewing the index webpage
of the module. Firmware versions 1.0.3 and later may be upgraded via the Configuration webpages. This
upgrade can be executed locally with a PC connected directly to the module, or remotely over a working
radio link. For remote upgrades, it is advisable to reduce radio traffic over the link from other devices as
much as possible. If necessary, create a temporary separate radio network to perform the upgrade to
remote modules.
Web-based Upgrade
Web-based firmware upgrades are available from the System tools page by selecting “Firmware Upgrade.”
A firmware upgrade is performed by uploading a “patch” file that is specific to the currently installed
firmware version. If the device firmware version has fallen multiple versions behind the desired version, it
may be necessary to upload multiple patch files. After the patch files are uploaded, reset the module to
perform the firmware upgrade. You will receive more detailed instructions if it is necessary to upgrade the
module firmware.
