Upgrading System Software and Configuration file (No Configuration File on the FW)

The FW starts automatic upgrade through USB after a USB flash drive storing all required files is inserted.

Procedure

  1. Insert the USB flash drive into the FW.

    For the USB interface of the FW, see Hardware Overview.

    If the USB indicator (green) blinks four times each second, the FW has started automatic upgrade.

    The FW obtains the system software and configuration file from the USB flash drive based on the index file usb.ini, copies them to its CF card, and automatically sets them as the system startup files.

  2. Wait until the FW restarts.

    The restart takes 10 to 30 minutes depending on the product model and version upgrade conditions.

  3. Check the upgrade result.
    • Determine the upgrade status based on the SYS and ALM indicators on the FW:
      • If the USB indicator (green) is on, the upgrade has succeeded.
      • If the USB indicator (red) is on, the upgrade has failed.
    • Check the log file named ESN_time on the USB flash drive.
      • If the upgrade succeeds, the log information resembles the following content. Device SN is the same as SN in the index file in Preparation for the Upgrade.
        Upgrade time: 20141228084910                                                                                                   
        Device SN: 20141228.080910                                                                                                         
        Device ESN: 210235G7LNZ0C8000001                                                                                                    
        Device MAC address: 00e0fccc221c                                                                                                    
        Info: Deployment using the USB flash drive is completed successfully, and the device has restarted.
      • If the upgrade through USB fails, check the Info content in the log file for preliminary fault location.
