Upgrade Base Station Firmware

Firmware is the term used to describe the programs stored in the
flash memory of hardware devices such as the Broadband
Networking Wireless Base Station. The firmware defines the
functionality of your base station. Occasionally, Microsoft may
provide upgrades to the firmware to improve the performance of
your base station. You can upgrade the firmware from the Base
Station Management Tool.

You can perform a firmware upgrade from any of your network
computers, but it is recommended that you use a computer with a
wired (Ethernet) connection to the base station.

During an upgrade, all users connected to the network will lose
network functionality.

To upgrade the base station firmware

1.

Open the Base Station Management Tool, and then click

Management

.

2.

On the 

Management

 menu, click 

Firmware Upgrade

.

3.

Follow the directions on the screen to upgrade your firmware.
While the firmware is being programmed into your base station,
the power light on the base station blinks and then turns
orange. When the light is solid green, the update is complete. If
the upgrade fails, the power light will continue to blink slowly
until you successfully upgrade the firmware. In this situation,
you can try to upgrade the firmware again, or you can reset the
base station.

If you want to open the Base Station Management Tool after a
successful firmware update, type your base station

 

password on

the 

Logon

 page. Do not attempt to log on until the firmware

upgrade is complete and the power light on the base station is
solid green.

Certain programs do not allow pop-up windows from Web browsers.
If you have one of these programs installed on your computer, you
may experience problems when you click the 

Microsoft Broadband

Networking Web site

 link on the 

Upgrade Firmware

 page. If you

do experience problems, you can open the Microsoft Broadband
Networking site by typing

http://www.microsoft.com/broadbandnetworking/

in the address field of your Web browser and browsing to the
update page, or by turning off the software that prevents pop-up
windows.

For information about how to upgrade network software and
drivers from the Broadband Network Utility, see Broadband
Network Utility Help.
