4.10 Updating Device Firmware

Motorola periodically releases updated versions of the access point device firmware to the Motorola
Web site. If the access point firmware version displayed on the
Configuring System Settings on page
recommends updating the access point to the latest firmware version for full feature functionality.
The access point's automatic update feature updates the access point's firmware and configuration
file automatically when the access point is reset or when the access point initiates a DHCP request.
The firmware is automatically updated each time firmware versions are found to be different
between what is running on the access point and the firmware file located on the server. The
configuration file is automatically updated when the configuration file name on the server is different
than the name of the file previously loaded on the access point or when the file version (on the server)
is different than the version currently in use on the access point.
Additionally, the configuration version can be manually changed in the text file to cause the
configuration to be applied when required. The parameter name within the configuration file is
"cfg-version-1.1-01." The access point only checks the two characters after the third hyphen (01)
when making a comparison. Change the last two characters to update the access point's
configuration. The two characters can be alpha-numeric.
Upgrading from a legacy to a new firmware version is a two step process requiring the same upgrade
procedure to be repeated twice. The first upgrade will result in a bootloader change, and the second
upgrade will result in the actual firmware update. For subsequent upgrades, a single download will
suffice. Using Auto Update, the access point will automatically update itself twice when upgrading.
