Updating the Firmware of WaveLinx Devices

The devices that are paired to the Wireless Area Controller may be updated from the Wireless Area Controller webpages. The updates may
be done manually or may be selected to happen automatically using the auto-upgrade feature. Regardless of method chosen, the Wireless
Area Controller ensures that devices meet minimum firmware requirements. If a paired device does not meet minimum requirements, the
Wireless Area Controller will automatically update the device firmware 1 hour after the Wireless Area Controller reboots or at midnight the
day that the discrepancy is detected.
The firmware files for WaveLinx devices are loaded with the Wireless Area Controller firmware/software otaUpgrade.tgz file. If necessary,
an individual device's firmware file may also be loaded into the Wireless Area Controller.
Before updating device firmware, ensure that the Wireless Area Controller firmware has been updated per the instructions on page 117 .
This should populate the firmware for all WaveLinx devices. If an individual device file has been provided, use this same procedure to upload
the provided .ota device file to the Wireless Area Controller.
