Over the Air (OTA) update
When new firmware becomes available the iTAG X-Range
’s
firmware can be OTA
updated. If your site has been setup with OTA capability then the procedure below can
be used. Note that you’ll need to be in range
of the Access Point that is appropriate
for this functionality.
The tag has a button on the rear that needs to be pressed down, Figure 16.
Figure 16.
Updating is performed as follows:
1. Place
a pen’s nib or similar sized item inside the OTA button and gently and
continuously press down.
2. The iTAG will begin beeping (once per second) and the top LED will flash green.
3. Once a faster beep (twice per second) is heard the button can be released. This
faster been will occur after approximately ten seconds.
4. The top LED will flash red and front LEDs flash as the iTAG starts to download the
new firmware. This can take over 30 seconds depending on network speed.
5. Once the download has completed the top LED will blink green and iTAG will reset.
6. Upon successful install all three front LEDs will flash 4 times.
7. Finally, the top green LED will then flash as usual.
Should the install fail the top LED will flash red quickly. Take the iTAG to your
administrator and perform the following checks:
1. Check that the iTAG
’s
Wi-Fi settings are correct. If so, the button press process
described above should be repeated.
2. Check network connectivity.
3. Check ELS Deployment Guide, Section 6.2.
4. If multiple fails occur then please contact Extronics Technical Support.
