Upload Firmware
Click this button to update the airFiber
AF-5 with new firmware.
The airFiber AF-5 firmware update is compatible with
all configuration settings. The system configuration is
preserved while the airFiber AF-5 is updated with a new
firmware version. However, we recommend that you back
up your current system configuration before updating the
firmware.
This is a three-step procedure:
1. Click
Choose File
to locate the new firmware file. Select
the file and click
Open
.
2. Click
Upload
to upload the new firmware to the
airFiber AF-5.
3. The Uploaded Firmware Version is displayed. Click
Update
to confirm.
If the firmware update is in process, you can close the
firmware update window, but this does not cancel the
firmware update. Please be patient, as the firmware
update routine can take three to seven minutes. You
cannot access the airFiber AF-5 until the firmware update
routine is completed.
WARNING:
Do not power off, do not reboot, and do
not disconnect the airFiber AF-5 from the power
supply during the firmware update process as
these actions will damage the airFiber AF-5!
