Upgrade Firmware

Using the TFTP Utility (Recommended)
The XC-DPG603 Twin WAN Gateway supports the Trivial File Transfer Protocol

(TFTP). This is mainly used to upload the firmware to the device. It can also be

used to save and upload the configuration and reset the Gateway to defaults.

This guide will show you how to perform all those actions along with the proper

procedure for upgrading your XC-DPG603 to the latest firmware release.

Updating the Firmware
To update the firmware on your XC-DPG603 you must first download the

firmware from the XiNCOM Support web page (http://www.xincom.com/support)

You will need an unzipping utility such as WinZip (www.winzip.com) or WinRAR

(www.rarlab.com) to extract the contents of the file. Included will be a README

file (usually README.txt), TFTP (tftp.exe) utility and the firmware file ({name}.

bin).

Backup your configuration
When you update the firmware on the XC-DPG603 the default configuration

overwrites any settings that you previously entered into the Gateway. You will

need to save the configuration of the file to the Gateway. There are two ways to

do this, the TFTP utility and the HTTP user interface. This section covers only

the TFTP utility, you can learn how to update using the HTTP utility in the Admin

Control section.
To save the XC-DPG603 Configuration to a file:

1. Open the TFTP utility by double clicking on it.
2. Enter the Gateways IP address (Default is: 192.168.1.1)
3. Enter a file name that you would like to save the file as (Example: config-file.bin).
4. Press the Upload button and the file will be saved to the same directory as the TFTP

utility.
