9.0 FIRMWARE UPGRADE
Xsense is continually improving the firmware (software programmed on a PROM)
in each of its products. The XRouter Aero is shipped with the most up-to-date
firmware available at the time of production. If a firmware upgrade becomes
available, it will be posted in the
Service and Support
section on our Web site. To
upgrade the XRouter Aero, you will need the TFTP client and the firmware binary
file named “da_wsr5000_version.bin” These two files can be found on our Web
site at
www.macsense.co
m. The following is the upgrade procedure.
Figure 34
1. Download these two files from our Web site: TFTP client program, and
“da_wsr5000_version.bin”
NOTE: These files are actually inside a single compressed folder on our web
site. This means that you would only download one file. Once downloaded and
decompressed, a folder will contain the needed files.
2. Run the TFTP client program. Enter both the IP address of the XRouter Aero
into the IP Field and your password in the Password Field..
3. Click
File Name
field. A window appears. Select a location of the firmware file
“xxxx.bin”
4. Click
Update
button to begin the upgrading process. After the firmware
upload is completed, please wait another 10 to 15 seconds for the XRouter to
auto-reboot.
NOTE: Keep the firmware filename “da_wsr5000_version.bin” unchanged, or the
TFTP program won’t recognize it.
5.
If the upgrade has failed, the Ready/Test LED will be flashing on the XRouter
Aero. If this happens, repeat steps 2 - 4 of this procedure.
