The time it takes to upgrade firmware for a device can vary depending on
the device. The Gateway configuration web page displays a progress
indicator during the firmware upgrade process. The Modbus/RS485 LED
is on steadily during a firmware upgrade.
The Upgrade Device section of the configuration web page displays the
current firmware revision of the:
•
Gateway Firmware
•
Gateway Bootloader. You cannot upgrade the Gateway bootloader.
•
Network Firmware—the internal Lantronix wireless networking
module
•
Web Page Version—the configuration web page.
Upgrading the
Gateway
Two types of upgrade files are available for the Gateway.
1. WEB-xx.xx-YY.wie (YY is a two-letter language abbreviation. For
example, WEB-01.01-ES.wie is the Spanish file). This file updates
the Gateway configuration web page language. Separate files for each
language are available on the Gateway Quickstart CD. This file
enables you to configure the language on the web page without
performing a full Gateway upgrade, which can take several minutes.
For future configuration web page upgrades, download the WEB-
xx.xx-YY.wie or corresponding GW-xx.xx-YY.wie file (see point 2)
from the Xantrex web site.
2. GW-xx.xx-YY.wie (YY is a two-letter language abbreviation. For
example, GW-01.01-ES.wie is the Spanish file). This file updates the
Gateway firmware, the network firmware, and the configuration web
page. Separate files for each language are available on the Gateway
Quickstart CD and (for future updates) at
www.xantrex.com/

.
Important:
Do not interrupt network power during the upgrade process. Loss
of power or communication during an upgrade may cause an unrecoverable error
in the wireless networking module.
Important:
Close the Solar Monitor Widget before upgrading Gateway
firmware or performing any action on the Upgrade Device page. Do not start the
Widget until the firmware upgrade is complete.
