Updating firmware
Firmware updates may be available periodically from Netopia or from a site maintained by your organization’s
network administration.
Follow these steps to update the Netopia 4541/4542’s firmware:
1. Make sure you have the firmware file on disk and know the path to its location.
2. Select Send Firmware to Netopia and press Return. The following dialog box appears:
3. Select CANCEL to exit without downloading the file, or select CONTINUE to download the file.
If you choose CONTINUE, you will have ten seconds to use your terminal emulation software to initiate an
XMODEM transfer of the firmware file. If you fail to initiate the transfer in that time, the dialog box will
disappear and the terminal emulation software will inform you of the transfer’s failure. You can then tr y
again.
The system will reset at the end of a successful file transfer to put the new firmware into effect. While the
system resets, the LEDs will blink on and off.
