A.2.

Load the Flash Firmware Using TFTP

Before updating the firmware through TFTP, the firmware flash application must be exited

and then erased. To do this, navigate to the Wi-MGR’s 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).

1

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 Wi-MGR are on the same subnet (LAN).

3

Open your TFTP client. Configure the client as follows.

a

Host = Wi-MGR’s IP Address

b

Port = 69

c

Block Size = 64, 128, 256, 512, or 1024

Note

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

4

Send or PUT the firmware file to the Wi-MGR. It may take ~10 seconds for the firmware

upload to begin. This will put the new firmware into effect.

5

After one minute, refresh the Wi-MGR’s web page. Notice that the Flash field now contains

the latest firmware. Click the “Start Application” button to reboot the unit.
