Now click the “Send” button to perform the update.
A “Firmware Update” window shows up, you can see a progress indicator under the message “Firmware
is updating, please wait!”
Note that there are
two
distinct, successive phases of updating the firmware image:
in the first one, while the message “Updating firmware” is blinking, the equipment just checks
the program image to be loaded against its checksum.
if the result is OK, the BYTTON device goes to the second phase, it really loads the new
firmware into its Flash memory. In this phase, the progress indicator is colored in red and
additional messages are show: Write: … bytes, Free space: … bytes, Unlocking …, Erasing …,
Writing to …
Warning! Do not update the firmware unless you have problems with the Bytton router or the new
firmware has a feature that you need. Remember to backup your current configuration first. Be careful
when you load an update file. If you select a wrong file, or if for different reasons firmware upgrading
fails, the equipment may no longer operate correctly. You will need to perform an update using the
“kernel” mode.
To avoid this, follow carefully the rules indicated here.
-
don’t turn off the BYTTON equipment or the computer while the firmware is being overwritten
-
equipment does not work while firmware update is in progress.
-
after successful updating, verify the upgraded firmware
-
remember that updating the firmware on the BYTTON HSDPA equipment could cause some or
all of the configuration settings to be lost, depending on the degree of change in the firmware.
Therefore it is highly recommended that you
save
your current configuration before updating,
then you restore it. To backup your settings, perform a Save, update the firmware, and then
Load the saved settings, after you have the equipment operating with the updated firmware.
5.5.4. Password
Allows you to modify passwords for the two log-in accounts: “admin” and “user”. For changing the
“admin” account password you must be logged in as admin , and for changing/modifying the “user”
account password you must be logged in as “user”.
From here-on the procedure is the same.
Type the new password, then enter it again on the second row to confirm it.
“Save” saves the new password.
You should replace the default password (99admin11) with one of your own as soon as possible.
