FortiRecorder 2.4.2 Administration Guide

an earlier build number (65) and date (

120821

 means August 21, 2012), indicates that you are 

reverting. 

To install firmware via the web UI

1.

Download the firmware file from the Fortinet Technical Support web site:

https://support.fortinet.com/ 

2.

Log in to the web UI of the FortiRecorder appliance as the 

admin

 administrator.  

3.

Go to 

Monitor > System Status > Status

.

Figure 5:

System Information

 widget

4.

In the 

System Information

 widget, in the 

Firmware version

 row, click 

Update

.

The 

Choose Firmware

 dialog appears.

5.

Click 

Browse

 to locate and select the firmware file that you want to install, then click 

OK

.

6.

Click 

OK

.

Your management computer uploads the firmware image to the FortiRecorder appliance. 
The FortiRecorder appliance installs the firmware and restarts. The time required varies by 
the size of the file and the speed of your network connection, and by the amount of time that 
the specific model requires to reboot. Over a LAN connection, it should only take a couple 
minutes until the appliance becomes available again.

7.

Clear the cache of your web browser and restart it to ensure that it reloads the web UI and 
correctly displays all interface changes. For details, see your browser's documentation.

Back up your configuration before beginning this procedure.
Reverting to an earlier firmware version could reset settings that are not compatible with the 
new firmware. For information on backups, see 

“Regular backups”

. For information on 

reconnecting to a FortiRecorder appliance whose network interface configuration was reset, 
see 

“Connecting to FortiRecorder web UI”

.

If you are installing a firmware version that requires a different size of system partition, you may 
be required to format the boot device before installing the firmware by re-imaging the boot 
device. Consult the 

Release Notes

. In that case, do 

ne 

 install the firmware using this 

procedure. Instead, see 

“Restoring firmware (“clean install”)”

.

If you are 

downgrading

 the firmware to a previous version, and the settings are not fully 

backwards compatible, the FortiRecorder appliance may either remove incompatible settings, 
or use the feature’s default values for that version of the firmware. You may need to reconfigure 
some settings.
