Load the Flash Firmware Using TFTP
Before updating the firmware, the firmware flash application must be exited and then erased.
To do this, navigate to the Wireless Gateway configuration menu. Once here, click on the
“Exit to Bootloader” button. Once exited, you will get a bootloader web page at the IP address
of the unit. Next, click on the “Erase Flash” button. The Flash application will be erased.
Note To erase the flash, a special username and password are required. The username is fds (all
lowercase), and the password is rle2tech (all lowercase).

Uploading firmware via TFTP requires a TFTP Client. It may be possible to download a
free license TFTP Client from the internet. Consult your IT department to determine a
compatible client program.
2
Verify that your PC and the Wireless Gateway are on the same subnet (LAN).

Open your TFTP client. Configure the client as follows.
a
Host = Wireless Gateway IP Address
b
Port = 69
c
Block Size = 64, 128, 256, 512, or 1024

The file must be sent in BINARY (not ASCII).

Send or PUT the firmware file to the Wireless Gateway. It may take ~10 seconds for the
firmware upload to begin. This will put the new firmware into effect.

After one minute, refresh the Wireless Gateway web page. Notice that the Flash field now
contains the latest firmware. Click the “Start Application” button to reboot the unit.
