Portal .
2. Find and open the device sub-folder for your specific Fluidmesh
device in the
FIRMWARE AND TOOLS folder.
3. Download the firmware image (*.BIN) file to your computer.
CAUTION
Make sure that you download the specific *.BIN file
for your device type. Uploading incorrect firmware for
the device type will cause the firmware overwrite to
fail, and may damage the unit.
The following procedure describes how to overwrite the existing firmware

is currently active.
To overwrite the existing firmware on the Fluidmesh device, do the
following steps:

3. With the Fluidmesh device disconnected from the wireless
network, power ON the device.

firmware overwriting is in progress.
Restarting or powering OFF the unit before
overwriting is complete will permanently damage the
unit.
4. Connect the computer containing the firmware image file directly
to the Fluidmesh unit, using an Ethernet cable. For detailed
information on direct connection, refer to
“Accessing
the Fluidmesh 4200 FIBER for device configuration” (page 52) .
