UPGRADE dialog)

Upload the firmware image file to the unit by clicking the

Choose

File

button and following the software prompts.

• The

Upgrade

button will become available.

Click the

Upgrade

button. Follow the software prompts until the

firmware overwrite is complete.

• When the overwrite is complete, the unit will automatically

reboot.

If the previous firmware was overwritten with a newer version of firmware,
check that the firmware upgraded correctly by doing the following steps:

•

When the overwrite is complete, make sure that the upgraded
firmware has a greater version number than the firmware that
was previously installed.

• If the firmware version has not changed, the firmware

upgrade has failed. Repeat the overwrite from step

Step 1

above.
