Update firmware and Boot/POST Code

The firmware and/or boot/POST code for a Digi device can be updated from a file on a PC

or through TFTP.The recommended method is to download the firmware to a local hard

drive. TFTP is supported for those using UNIX systems. Both the firmware and the boot/

POST code are updated using the same set of steps. The Digi device automatically

determines the type of image being uploaded. Before uploading the firmware or the boot/

POST code, it is very important to read the Release Notes supplied with the firmware to

check if the boot/POST code must be updated before updating the firmware.

Prerequisites

These procedures assume that:

A firmware file has already been downloaded the firmware file from the Digi
web site.

If using TFTP, that TFTP is running.
