Firmware Upgrade over FTP
The WiSnap module has a file system for storing firmware, web pages and config files. Use the
ls
command to view files. File size is displayed in sectors and the active boot image is identified in the
final message.

Multiple firmware images and config files can be stored on the module file system.
NOTE:
The Flash File system is used only to store firmware and configuration files. Currently the file
system cannot be used to store data files.

FTP Upload and Upgrade
WiSnap contains a built in FTP client for getting files and updating the firmware. The client uses
passive mode FTP, which allows operation through firewalls and the Internet.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do NOT upgrade the firmware with a WiSnap AAA dongle. Only the
WiSnap M1 module is supported by this firmware.
ONLY PERFORM FIRMWARE UPDATE AFTER CONFIRMATION WITH FACTORY OR
SERIALIO.COM
To download the latest firmware release, the following settings are required (but set by default):
FTP username =
roving
FTP password =
Pass123
FTP filename =
WiSnap-GSX.img
FTP directory =
./public
(this parameter can not be modified)
NOTE:
To use FTP to upgrade the firmware, WiSnap module has to be associated to an Access Point
with internet connectivity.
To update the firmware, issue the following command:
ftp upload <string>
(string is an optional filename, use to bypass the default firmware filename)
The ftp upload command will retrieve the file and switch the boot image to the new file.
<2.10>
ftp update
<2.10> FTP connecting to 208.109.78.34
FTP file=30
.......................................................................
FTP OK.
The previous firmware will become the backup image. Here is an example of what you should see
after a successful update:
