Upload Firmware
The Upload Firmware page is used to update the firmware in the N-TAH in the field,
without having to open the unit or return it to American Fibertek. This feature is only to
be used to upload firmware binaries supplied by AFI.
To use the feature click on the ‘Browse…’ button. A dialog box will open requesting the
file to upload. Navigate to the binary file provided by AFI and open it. The dialog box
will close, and the name of the selected binary file will appear in the text box. Press the
‘Upload’ button to start uploading the new binary file.
The file upload may take up to a minute to complete. Once it has competed you should
see either a screen indicating that the firmware file was uploaded properly, or that some
error occurred and the N-TAH was unable to use the uploaded firmware file.
To complete the firmware upload process and begin using the new firmware, you must
power-cycle the N-TAH. Rebooting the unit with the Reboot Net I/O function will not be
sufficient to finish updating the firmware. The unit must be turned off, let to sit for at
least 5 seconds with no power, and then turned back on.
