Transceivers that successfully receive the firmware upgrade load the file to memory, and then
reboot. The reboot times are randomized within a short window, to keep every transceiver from
restarting at the same time.

Verifying Firmware Upgrades
After the transceiver has taken a firmware upgrade and rebooted to its previously programmed state, you can
verify that the firmware upgrade was successful.
1. Refresh the transceivers's configuration Web pages by refreshing your browser window or opening
a new session.
If you are having problems viewing the Web pages, it may be necessary to clear your Web
browser cache and cookies. This process varies depending on the Web browser you are using. If
you need assistance, contact FreeWave Technical Support.
2. From the Pages menu on the left side, click Status to display the Status page.
This page should load by default when you log in.
The Firmware Version field in the Hardware Information section of the page displays the current
firmware version installed. Ensure this matches the firmware version to which you were upgrading.
You have completed the firmware upgrade process for your Plus-style transceiver!

operating systems may vary):
1. Locate My Computer, either on your desktop or through the Start menu.
2. Select Tools from the top menu.
3. Select Folder Options.
