Appendix B: Installing New Firmware
From time to time, updates are made to the X-317 firmware. The firmware can be updated in the field.
The procedure for updating the firmware is outlined below. Please note that it is important that this
procedure is followed precisely.
Requirements
The firmware update software requires Windows XP/Vista/7/8 with the .Net framework installed. The
.Net framework is generally installed automatically through Windows update. To install it manually, go to
the following address:
Select the Download button. Once you've downloaded the installation file, double click on the installation
file to install the framework.
Setup
1.
Download the firmware zip file from the ControlByWeb website. Only an X-317 image can be installed on
the X-317 so make sure the correct image is being downloaded.
2.
bootloader.exe will connect to the X-317 using default IP address 192.168.1.2, not the address currently
assigned to the X-317. After the update, all settings will be lost and the device will return to its default IP
address of 192.168.1.2.
Configure the PC to the same subnet as the IP address 192.168.1.2, such as 192.168.1.10. For
instructions on doing this see section
2.4 Establishing Communications for Setup
.
Note: The IP address of the X-317 will automatically be set to the default 192.168.1.2 during the update
process.
Note: A crossover cable cannot be used during the update procedure, an Ethernet switch will be
necessary to properly update the firmware.
3.
Open the bootloader.exe utility on the computer by double clicking on the downloaded file (Figure
Appendix B.1).
4.
Within the ControlByWeb™ Programmer utility programmer, select File, then Open. Specify the firmware
image downloaded from the ControlByWeb™ web site.
