Updating firmware
Firmware updates may be available periodically from Farallon or
from a site maintained by your organization’s network administra-
tion.
The procedure below applies whether you are using the console or
the PC Card port.
Follow these steps to update the Netopia Router’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:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| Are you sure you want to send a firmware file to your Netopia? |
| If so, when you hit Return/Enter on the CONTINUE button, you will |
| have 10 seconds to begin the transfer from your terminal program. |
| |
| CANCEL CONTINUE |
| |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
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
try 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.
