Performing A Flash Upgrade; Flash Upgrade Using The Remote Method - ADDER AdderLink IP Gold User Manual

Performing a flash upgrade

AdderLink IP Gold is fully reconfigurable via flash upgrade and there are two
methods that you can use:
• The remote method, or
• The 'dip switch' method.
The most streamlined upgrade procedure is the remote method because it is
carried out completely from a remote system. The 'dip switch' method is useful
because it can be carried out even if the firmware within the AdderLink IP Gold
unit has been corrupted.

Flash upgrade using the remote method

Using this method, the AdderLink IP Gold is upgraded via remote connection
(through the IP network port). Upgrades are digitally signed by Adder using
a secure key. This prevents unauthorised or altered firmware images being
downloaded into the unit.
