Field
Version Displays the firmware version currently installed on the FaxFinder. Verify that this
version is older (generally a smaller number) than the firmware currently
available on the Multi-Tech Installation Resources site.
Caution:
Upload Firmware The firmware file ends in .BIN. This is the main update file.
MD5 Checksum The MD5 Checksum file ends in .BIN.MD5. It is a small file that provides a safety
net for possible firmware file corruption that can occur during a download or be
caused by bad sectors on a hard drive.
To update the firmware:
Important: Do not power off FaxFinder during the update process.
1.
Click Browse and select the ffupdate_FFxxx_#.#.bin from the files you extracted. FFxxx represents
the FaxFinder model number and #.# represents the update version.
2.
Click Browse and select the ffupdate_FFxxx_#.#.bin.md5 from the files you extracted. FFxxx
represents the FaxFinder model number and #.# represents the update version.
3.
Click Update. The update process takes several minutes.
4.
Log back into FaxFinder when the update graphic stops spinning and the Login page appears.
Note: During the upgrade, the HTTPS port (TCP 443 by default) and TCP port 80 need to be open to
the FaxFinder if there is a firewall or other security software blocking these ports.
Also, the upgrade occasionally takes longer than expected. This cause the browser to show a
timeout when the process tries to display the login screen. If this occurs, wait approximately
one minute and then refresh your browser.
Updating Modem Firmware
This section is for updating the FaxFinder's internal modems. Your model will determine how many
internal modems are available. For updating the FaxFinder unit itself, please see the section above.
Note: Multi-Tech recommends that you save the current configuration before updating firmware.
The download for modem firmware you extracted contains a .hex file.
