Software Upload

Software Upload
The upload screen as shown on next page is used to upgrade the
existing software load of the LB NI-01 indoor unit with new software
stored in a binary file on the server or host computer. Note the LB NI-01
indoor unit contains two memory pages for storing two versions of the
software/firmware. The user can select the operating version using the
Configuration screen Software Version. The upload will always overwrite
the secondary (unselected) version; therefore, it is important to select
the desired operating version before beginning the upgrade process.
The upgrade process can be achieved remotely, using the Trivial File
Transfer Protocol (TFTP) over the Internet. Two input fields must be
filled in by the operator: TFTP Server IP Address and File Name. The
TFTP Server IP Address is the IP address of the host computer or server
that contains the upgrade software in binary format, while File Name is
the name of the actual binary file.

Figure 3-11: Software Upgrade

After typing the TFTP Server IP Address and File Name, click Upload
File to begin the file transfer. A status screen (see Figure 23) will
appear, displaying the number of bytes being transferred from the host
computer/server to the LB NI-01 Indoor unit in real time. The upgrade
file size is approximately 1.5 MB, and will take approximately two to
four minutes to download from the server to the LB NI-01 Indoor unit
memory. To activate the new version, it is necessary to go to the
Configuration page and select the new Software Version.
