5 Annex B: Upgrading the CaptiLink Software

There are two ways to upgrade the software on the CaptiLink. One way is to use an FTP client
(e.g., Core FTP or Filezilla), and the other is to use a USB flash drive to perform the upgrade.

5.1 FTP Client

Make sure that an FTP client is installed on the computer.

Turn the CaptiLink ON and make sure it is able to ping to the network.

Open the FTP client and connect using the IP of the CaptiLink under port 21 and login as
the "root" user and enter the appropriate password.

Add the update package (".pkg file") to the folder "/doremi/etc/rc.once" and then reboot.

To check if the upgrade was successful open an SSH session and type the following
command: 'more /doremi/etc/version' and make sure that the version matches that of
the ".pkg" file.

5.2 USB Flash Update

1) Create a directory name it “doremi” in the root of the USB flash drive.
2) Inside the “doremi” directory, create another folder and name it "update" (e.g.,

'/doremi/update/').

3) Copy the ".pkg" file to the path of the USB flash drive '/doremi/update/' then safely

unmount the USB flash drive.

4) Put the USB flash drive in place of the CaptiView Transmitter. Wait for the light to stop

blinking and then do a reboot (or power cycle).

5) To check if the upgrade was successful, open an SSH session and type the following

command.The version should match that of the ".pkg" file:

more /doremi/etc/version
