Saving And Restoring Settings - Multitech MultiConnect rCell 100 User Manual

When downgrading to an older version of firmware or upgrading from versions lower than 4.1, you must uncheck
this option.
If the Signed Firmware Validation is unchecked, the system runs an MD5 checksum automatically to check
integrity of your target firmware file. If the MD5 checksum fails, the system generates an error saying the file
integrity checks failed on the target file.
First, check your firmware version. Refer to the upper right corner of your configuration software window. To
upgrade the firmware on your device:
1. Before you upgrade your firmware, save your present configuration as a backup. Otherwise, see
DeviceHQ.
2. Go to the MultiTech website, locate the firmware upgrade file you want for your device, and download
this file to a known location.
3. Select Administration > Firmware Upgrade. The Administration: Firmware Upgrade pane opens.
4. If you want further validation of your upgrade file, you can check Signed Firmware Validation option
(checked by default). This works for upgrading from versions 4.1 or higher. (If unchecked, the system
automatically runs an MD5 checksum.)
5. Click the Choose Firmware Upgrade File button:
a. Click Browse to find where the firmware file resides that you want to apply.
b. Select the file and click Open. The file name appears next to the Choose Firmware Upgrade File
button. Make sure you select the correct BIN file; otherwise, your device can become inoperable.
6. Click Start Upgrade.
7. A message about time needed to upgrade appears. Click OK. A progress bar appears indicating the status
of the upgrade. When upgrade is completed, your device reboots.
8. After the firmware upgrade is complete, verify your configuration to make sure it is what you expected.
Note:
The new firmware is written into flash memory.
It may take up to 10 minutes to upgrade the firmware. Do not interfere with the devices's power or
press the reset button during this time.
The DeviceHQ is a cloud platform that provides the ability to remotely manage and upgrade devices.
