Firmware update
● Firmware file
After selecting a firmware file stored on the PC using the "Search" button, the file name is
displayed here.
● Search
Searches the file system of the PC for a firmware file saved there that is intended to be
loaded on the gateway.
Firmware files have the file format *.upd.
After selecting the file, the name of the selected file is displayed but the firmware is not
used yet.
● Load on device
By clicking the button, you download the selected firmware file to the gateway.
The ongoing update process is indicated in the WBM by a progress bar.
After the update is complete, the gateway automatically reboots. After the restart you will
need to log in again.
Note
Firmware update
Note that updating the firmware can take a while.
• No input during activation
During activation until the gateway restarts, the WBM is not locked.
Do not change the WBM page during this time.
• No switch off of the gateway
Do not switch off the gateway during activation of the firmware. This avoids the
occurrence of inconsistent statuses.
4.11.5
Saving
In this tab, you can save the configuration data of the gateway in a configuration file and load
it again.
Configuration files have the name "CC712<Date and time>.cfg" or "CC716...".
You cannot edit configuration files because they are encrypted. If encrypted parts are
changed, the configuration file is rejected when you try to download it.
Saving the configuration file on the PC is useful in the following cases:
● You want to use the configuration data of the gateway for another gateway.
● You want to use multiple gateways with similar configuration data.
● In case of replacement
You download the configuration data from the PC to another gateway and reconfigure only
the parameters that are different, if necessary.
