Using FOTA
Honeywell recommends distributing firmware via a WLAN connection rather than the WWAN connection. This
requires an HTTP server which can be hosted on the Internet or the same Intranet (i.e.: the same network domain) as
the Thor VM3. Honeywell tested FOTA using:
• Uniform Server: https://sourceforge.net/projects/miniserver/
• IIS: Microsoft Internet Information Services, Windows 2012 server
To use FOTA, the following steps must be completed before initial use:
• Configure HTTP Server
• Load Firmware Updates
• Configure the Thor VM3
For subsequent updates, it is only necessary to
Configure HTTP Server
The instructions below are for Uniform Server (UniServer). Setup information for IIS server is widely available on
line. Follow the same folder setup as in step 4 below for IIS.
1. After installing, browse to the installation folder and run the server by double-clicking UniController.exe.
2. Click the Start Apache button. The indicator changes from red to green when the server is running. The but-
ton label also changes to Stop Apache.
3. Display the test page by clicking the View www button or typing http://localhost into a web browser.
4. Create the folder structure on the web server:
<Server URL>/<wwan>/<Carrier Number>/<Version>.
Assuming initroot is root folder for the HTTP server, create a wwan folder underneath initroot. Then create
folders under wwan numbered 0-15 to represent each carrier number. The structure is shown below. As firm-
ware updates are received, create version folders under the appropriate carrier number. Notice the version
folders under the <3> folder in this example.
<initroot>
