It is possible to make the GlobeSurfer III+ up-to-date by doing a firmware update.
Firmware can be updated manually or the device can be set up to do the update
automatically. In this document, it is explained how to do firmware update in
different ways.
The firmware update duration is composed of:
Upload of the firmware file to the GlobeSurfer III+
-
update of the GlobeSurfer firmware
-
update of the GlobeSurfer 3G module firmware (optional)
-
The duration of the upload of the firmware depends on the size of the firmware file.
In the case of liveupdate, download of the firmware file from the server depends
on the network speed as well. In average that can vary from 3 to 5 minutes.
The update of the GlobeSurfer firmware varies from 3 to 5 minutes.
The update of the GlobeSurfer 3G module firmware takes the longest time. If the
module firmware needs to be updated, then the duration could vary from 5 to 10
minutes.
The total duration, including the file download could take up to 20 minutes to
finish.
Important notes :
NEVER disconnect the power during the update process. This could cause
irreversible damages to the device. Once you start a firmware update, wait until it
is finished.
ALWAYS use the Ethernet connection to do a firmware update to ensure data
integrity.
