How to Update Firmware
1 Go to the ‘Firmware Updates’ page.
2 Select individual compact routers or remote panel modules by checking the check box in
‘Select’ column on the row listing the device.
Or, click Select All to select all devices.
You can unselect devices by clearing their individual check boxes or by clicking Select None.
To execute a firmware update, you must have selected at least one device in the device list.
3 (Optional) Clear the ‘Only update if versions are different’ check box if you want to force
every selected device to be updated. Otherwise, a device is updated only when the new
firmware is different from the firmware in the device. CRSC automatically checks the firm-
ware version.
4 Click Update Firmware. The ‘Select the Compact Router Firmware’ dialog box appears.
Fig. 8-1: Select the Compact Router Firmware Dialog
5 Browse to select a firmware file. (The file extension of a firmware file is .crf .) and click
Select. The updates begins.
CRSC displays a progress bar in one of the fields of the device it is currently updating —
either the ‘Boot (uC) Version’ field, ‘Application (uC) Version’ field, or the ‘Firmware (FPGA)
Version’ field
— depending on where it is in the process.
The firmware applies to all the devices you have selected. Firmware updates take between 2
and 3 minutes for each device.
While CRSC is performing the update, you can click ‘Stop Update’ to terminate the update at
any time. See
Stopping an Update on page 93.
