15 Firmware Update
The L-INX firmware supports remote upgrade over the network and the serial console.
To guarantee that the L-INX is not destroyed due to a failed firmware update, the firmware
consists of two images:
1.
The fallback image,
2.
the primary image.
The fallback image cannot be changed. Thus, if the update of the primary image fails or the
image is destroyed by some other means, the fallback image is booted and allows
reinstalling a valid primary image. When the device boots up with the fallback image, the
all port LEDs are flashing red.
The following firmware images are available for the different L-INX automation server
models:
LINX-10X: linx10x_x_y_z.dl
LINX-20X: linx20x_x_y_z.dl
LINX-11X: linx_11x_x_y_z.dl
LINX-21X: linx_21x_x_y_z.dl
LINX-12X/15X/22X: linx_12x_15x_22x_x_y_z.dl.
15.1 Firmware Update via the Configurator
The primary image can be updated using the Configurator. For this purpose, it is
recommended to have the device connected to the Ethernet and to have a valid IP
configuration (see Section 4.2.2). The Configurator must be installed (see Section 6.1).
