Warning! Downgrading an Plus-style transceiver from the current firmware version to
a previous firmware version may result in the transceiver settings becoming invalid.
FreeWave recommends resetting any downgraded transceiver to the factory defaults
using the steps provided in "Resetting Transceivers to the Factory Default Settings"
on page 15 before attempting to use or configure the transceiver.
The instructions in the following sections assume you know the IP address of the transceiver you want to
upgrade and that you are able to access the transceiver's configuration Web pages. If you are not able to do
this, contact FreeWave Technical Support for assistance.
Complete the following steps, described in detail below, to upgrade a Plus-style transceiver:
1. Configure the FreeWave TFTP Server.
2. Upgrade the firmware file using the Web configuration pages.
3. Verify the firmware upgrade.
Before You Get Started Upgrading Firmware Using the TFTP Server
Before you can upgrade a Plus-style transceiver's firmware, download the specific firmware file and install
FreeWave TFTP Server from www.freewave.com. If you are unsure which file you need or require
assistance, contact FreeWave Technical Support.
FreeWave recommends creating a folder on your computer desktop called Root and saving the firmware file
in that directory.
Configuring the TFTP Server
The FreeWave TFTP Server enables the transfer of the firmware file from your computer to the Plus-style
transceiver. After you download the FreeWave TFTP Server program, run the installer to gain access to the
executable program, fwTFTP.exe. After the installation, you are ready to configure the TFTP Server.
1. From the Windows Start menu, select All Programs > FreeWave Technologies >fwTFTP >
fwTFTP.exe.
If you installed the TFTP server in another location, follow that directory path and open the
fwTFTP.exe file.
2. After the application displays, click Configure to display the Server Configuration dialog box.
3. In the Root Folder field, click the icon next to the field and locate the folder in which you saved the
firmware upgrade file in "Before You Get Started Upgrading Firmware Using the TFTP Server" on
page 25.
