New firmware with FirmSafe
The software in the ELSA routers is constantly being updated. We have fitted the devices
with a flash ROM which makes child's play of updating the operating software so that
you can enjoy the benefits of new features and functions. No need to change the
EPROM, no need to open up the case: simply load the new release and you're away.
This is how FirmSafe works
FirmSafe makes the installation of the new software safe: The used firmware is not
simply overwritten but saved additionally in the device as a second firmware.
Of the two firmware versions saved in the device only one can ever be active. When
loading a new firmware version the active firmware version is not overwritten. You can
decide which firmware version you want to activate after the upload:
쮿
'Immediate': The first option loads the new firmware and activates it immediately.
This can result in the following situations:
– The new firmware is loaded successfully and works as desired. Then all is well.
– The device no longer responds after loading the new firmware. If an error occurs
during the upload, the router automatically reactivates the previous firmware
version and reboots the device.
쮿
'Login': To avoid problems with faulty uploads there is the second option with which
the firmware is uploaded and also immediately booted.
– The difference to the first option is that the router then waits five minutes for a
successful login to the device via outband or inband (via telnet). Only if this login
attempt is successful does the new firmware remain active permanently.
– If the device no longer responds and it is therefore impossible to log in, the router
automatically loads the previous firmware version and reboots the device with it.
쮿
'Manual': With the third option you can define a time period during which you want
to test the new firmware yourself. The router will start with the new firmware and
wait for the preset period until the loaded firmware is manually activated and
therefore becomes permanently effective.
