Update the firmware and boot/POST code

You can update the firmware and/or boot/POST code for a Digi device from a file on a computer or
through TFTP. The recommended method is to download the firmware to a local hard drive. TFTP is
supported for those using Unix systems. Both the firmware and the boot/POST code are updated
using the same set of steps. The Digi device automatically determines the type of image to upload.
Important Read the Release Notes supplied with the firmware to see if the boot/POST code must be
updated before updating the firmware or the boot/POST code.

To update the firmware from a file on a computer:
1. Select Administration > Update Firmware. The Update Firmware page appears.
2. Type the name of the firmware or POST file in the Select Firmware field, or click Browse to
locate and select the firmware or POST file.
3. Click Update.
Important: DO NOT close the browser until the update completes and a reboot prompt
appears.
Update the firmware from a TFTP Server
You can update firmware from a TFTP server through the command-line interface using the boot
command. You cannot update the firmware from the web interface. For details, see Administration.
