Firmware updates may be available periodically from Netopia or from a site maintained by your organization’s
network administration. The procedure below applies whether you are using the console or the WAN inter face
module.
Follow these steps to update the Netopia R5000 Series 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 (or Send Firmware to Netopia WAN module) 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.
