Firmware - Multitech FaxFinder FF130 Administrator User Manual

Firmware

There may be occasions where features are refined or added to the FaxFinder unit. Such features will be
available through updating of the firmware that exists in the FaxFinder. After downloading firmware to
the local drive, browsing to that location and updating the firmware is a relatively easy process.
FaxFinder Firmware
This section is for the FaxFinder unit itself. For the internal modems, please see the section below.
Before flashing in new firmware, it is a good idea to save the current configuration.
Version
This will display the current version of the firmware installed in the FaxFinder unit. Please verify
that this version is older (generally a smaller number) than the firmware you intend to upgrade
the unit with. Do not roll back firmware in a FaxFinder unit unless you are directed to do so by
Multi-Tech Technical Support.
Upload Firmware
Click on the Browse button and navigate to the local folder containing the new FaxFinder
firmware that you wish to install. Please ensure that you are updating with a newer version of
firmware than what already exists in the FaxFinder unit. If you do need to downgrade the
firmware, the current configuration may not be able to be restored, so it is suggested that you
save a configuration file specific to each version of firmware.
MD5 Checksum
Use the Browse button to navigate to the MD5 checksum file that will verify the firmware is
valid for use. This is a very small file that is a safety net for possible firmware file corruption that
can occur during a download or be caused by bad sectors on a hard drive.
Update button
Click the Update button to begin the firmware upgrade process. This will take several minutes,
after which you will need to log in to the FaxFinder unit again. Please wait until the update
graphic stops spinning and you are taken to the Login screen. When prompted, you may re-login
to the FaxFinder unit.
