In order to handle variable length code images, the memory map of ROM-AP
was changed in versions xx0cxx(xx). In order to upgrade from versions older
than 0cxx the unit needs to first have new boot code and FTP code which knows
how to handle these variable size images, before actually downloading the
new image.
===============================
0c1A Firmware Update Procedure:
===============================
1) If upgrading from xx0bxx version, follow steps 1 – 5 below.
2) If upgrading from xx0c14 or later, then just do step 3.
3) For this sequence of downloads it is highly recommended that
the hwaputil be run from a PC connected to the Ethernet side of
the AP/Bridge.
4) Typically the unit will restart after downloading and flashing any
new image. If the code running is version 0c01 or later this restart
is reliable. However if the code running is older (0bxx), the reset may
not happen properly and must be manually powered off and on. This
scenario exhibits itself by not being able to find the AP with the
hwaputil after a download completes.
====================================
Step 1: Download Transition version
====================================
This step installs a version of 0bxx software that can handle the variable size
images of boot code and operational code.
a) Using the hwaputil utility that came with the AP/Bridge locate
the AP to be upgraded and select it in the list.
b) Click the Update Firmware button or select from the pull down
menu and download the image file:
1_090c1802_4_U2.img
c) After the download completes, click the re-scan button to re-find the AP.
Note: these older versions take several seconds to boot up.
NOTE: The unit should now be using the "factory defaults" that came with
the 090c1802_4_U2 image file. If you cannot log in, try the default
password that is WLAN_BRIDGE.
===============================
Step 2: Download NEW Boot Code
===============================
This step installs new boot code that only uses one sector of the flash chip
in the AP instead of two sectors used by older boot code. This boot code also
will be able to handle the newer compressed .img files.
a) Re-select the AP in the list of the hwaputil.
b) Click the Update Firmware button and download the image file:
2_bootb01.img
c) After the download completes, click the re-scan button to re-find the AP.
Note: You should notice a much faster boot up time with this new boot code.
====================================================
Step 3: Download the NEW operational software image
====================================================
This will download the latest "secondary" software image into the AP. The
AP will always load its "secondary" image into RAM at boot time if it
is present in the AP's flash. If not present, then it will load the
primary image.
a) Re-select the AP in the list of the hwaputil.
b) Click the Update Firmware button and download the image file:
3_0A0c1A00_5_U2.img
c) After the download completes, click the re-scan button to re-find the AP.
Note: This is the download where the running image may not reset properly
and the unit may need to a manual power cycle.
=====================================
Step 4: Download a new Primary image
=====================================
This step will replace the old primary image with a new one. Leaving an
old primary in the unit is problematic if for any reason the AP ever
boots from it, as it may erase some sectors of the new web image.
a) Re-select the AP in the list of the hwaputil.
b) Click the Update Firmware button and download the image file:
4_0A0c1A00_5_U1.img
c) After the download completes, click the re-scan button to refind the AP.
Note: It will take a little longer time to program the primary image than the
secondary image.
===================================
Step 5: Download the new web pages
===================================
This step will download new web pages into the unit. It should be noted
that the previous step would have overwritten the older web pages and so
the web interface will not function until this next step is taken.
a) Re-select the AP in the list of the hwaputil.
b) Click the Update Firmware button and download the image file:
5_web_0c14_1004.img
c) After the download completes, click the re-scan button to refind the AP.
Double click on the AP to launch the web browser and you should see the
new Home page appear.
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
