Section 4
A new firmware update is a binary file which can be sent to you by email or which you can
download from our website www.lindy.com.
Updating the firmware is a four stage process:
1. The new firmware file is uploaded to the P16-IP. In order to do this you need to select the file
on your local system using the Browse button on the Upload Firmware panel. Once the
firmware file has been uploaded it is checked whether it is a valid firmware file and whether
there were any transmission errors. In case of any error the Upload Firmware function will be
aborted.
2. If everything went well you will see the Update Firmware panel. The panel shows you the
version number of the currently running firmware and the version number of the uploaded
firmware. Pressing the Update button will replace the old version with the new one.
3. After the firmware has been stored, the P16-IP will automatically reset itself. Half a minute
after the reset the P16-IP will run with the new firmware version and should be accessible.
However, you will be required to login once again.
4. Once you have logged in we recommend you delete the Temporary Internet Files from
your browser to ensure that the appearance of the web interface is correct. To do this in
Internet Explorer, select:
Tick the check box: Delete all offline content, and click OK
Note: The firmware update process and consistency check means that making a mistake
when updating the firmware is very unlikely. However, we recommend only experienced
users or administrators should perform the firmware update. This process is not reversible
and may take some minutes. Make sure the P16-IP's power supply will not be interrupted
during the update process!
Tip: Should your keyboard fail to operate correctly, in the remote console, after a firmware
update please use the Reset Keyboard/Mouse option in the Maintenance section as
described on page 69
