4.11.2 How to load new software
There are various ways of carrying out a firmware upload (which is the term
given to the installation of software), all of which produce the same result:
ELSA LANconfig
ELSA WEBconfig
Terminal programs
TFTP
All settings will remain unchanged by a firmware upload. All the same you
should save the configuration first for safety's sake (with
Edit Save
Configuration to File if using ELSA LANconfig , for example).
If the newly installed release contains parameters which are not present in
the device's current firmware, the device will add the missing values using
the default settings.
ELSA LANconfig
When using ELSA LANconfig , highlight the desired device in the selection list
and click on Edit Firmware Management Upload New Firmware ,
or click directly on the Firmware Upload button. Then select the directory
in which the new version is located and mark the corresponding file.
ELSA LANconfig then tells you the version number and the date of the
firmware in the description and offers to upload the file. The firmware you
already have installed will be replaced by the selected release by clicking
Open .
You also have to decide whether the firmware should be permanently
activated immediately after loading or set a testing period during which you
will activate the firmware yourself. To activate the firmware during the set
test period, click on
Edit Firmware Management After upload, start
the new firmware in test mode .
ELSA WEBconfig
Launch your browser and enter the IP address of the unit in the address field.
For example, if your
ELSA LANCOM Business has the IP address
194.162.200.17, enter: 'http://194.162.200.17'.
On the starting page, follow the 'Upload new Firmware' link. In the next
window you can browse the folder system to find the firmware file and click
Upload to start the installation.
