taken off-line until you want to operate the unit from the newly installed
firmware image.
Firmware images are available free-of-charge at
www.gemds.com
.
NOTE: MDS iNET firmware may not be installed in MDS iNET-II
radios, or vice-versa.
NOTE: When upgrading to firmware 6.0.0 or later, the unit creates
internal files following the first reboot. This one-time process
delays the response of the HTTP interface for 5-10 minutes. If
DC power is cycled (turned off and back on) during this
process, the files will have to be created again. It is recom-
mended that you wait until this 5-10 minute process is
complete before verifying operation of HTTP, HTTPS, or
SSH.
NOTE: Always read the release notes for downloaded firmware. Some
versions may not be compatible over the air, or with the partic-
ular unit you have.
