15.1 Using FTP to Update Firmware
To use the embedded FTP capabilities of the module for firmware update, it is
necessary to make sure the following settings are configured and the update
command is used as defined in Table 30. It is also required that the module is
associated to a wireless network or the Ethernet port is connected to a network
containing the FTP server defined in the configuration.
It is important to note that the FTP based update provides the quickest update
process due to the speed of the image download.
Table 30 - FTP Firmware Update
Command Description
ftp-server-address This defines the IP address of the FTP server on which the firmware
image is being stored. The address must be in the standard format
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.
Where XXX must have an integer value between 0 and 255. The
resultant IP address cannot be 0.0.0.0.
ftp-server-path This defines the directory path for the subdirectory that contains the
target firmware image to be downloaded, from the default directory
of the ftp-user.
This does not need to be set if the file is in the default directory for
the specified ftp-user.
ftp-user
Defines the username for the FTP account, associated to the FTP
server defined by ftp-server-address.
ftp-password Defines the password for the FTP account, associated to the FTP
server defined by ftp-server-address.
ftp-filename
Defines the name of the image file to be uploaded. The file extension
must be included.
update ftp
This initiates the firmware update process. The update process is
fully automatic once the command has been sent.
The module will automatically download the image file, install the
firmware update and restart the module.
Note that any user configuration settings will not be lost during the
process.
15.2 Using Xmodem to Update Firmware
When using Xmodem to do the firmware update there are no configuration
changes required on the module. The process does require that a host device on
either the serial or network ports can initiate an Xmodem file transfer, once the
device server is ready to receive the firmware image file.
To complete the update process the command in Table 31, must be executed in
a CLI session before any file transfer is initiated. Once executed the device
server is ready to receive the firmware image, the network host must then initiate
the file transfer using Xmodem. This can be done over the serial or network
interfaces.
