6.3 Fireware Upgrade

Firmware can be easily upgraded via web page. This section describes the upgrade procedures.
*Pls contact you The latest firmware version is available on the web site.
6.3.1 Prepare Upgrade Environment
1. Need to obtain a TFTP server software program.
2. Startup tftp server (e.g., tftpd32). The website below kindly provides the software.
http://perso.orange.fr/philippe.jounin/tftpd32_download.html.
3. Run the TFTP server software program, for example: tftpd32.exe
4. Select the directory folder where the upgrade image files reside at
For example: Z:\IP-console\Release\v1.0 & 082306
6.3.2 Upgrade from web page
Key in TFTP server IP address and image file name, then click Apply.
After a few seconds, the message Flash program finished successfully will be shown, meaning the new
firmware has been upgraded into the Flash memory.
Warning :
During this upgrading process, we should not disconnect the power or the Ethernet cable, since it
may cause upgrade failure and destroy the image in Flash memory. In this case, we have to upgrade
through bootloader process, which is not as friendly as the web method.
Note :
There are three possible images can be upgraded. But not all of the three images should be upgraded
in each release. Most often, only need to upgrade the ramdisk image. The three images are:
■
extpar
■
zimage
■
ramdisk
