Example: Use the device's .gbl firmware image to update the XBee firmware
synchronously
To update the XBee firmware synchronously with Python 3.0, but using the device firmware image
already uploaded to Remote Manager, upload the device's *.gbl firmware to Remote Manager:
1. Download the updated firmware file for your device from Digi's support site. This zip file
contains the firmware image.
2. Unzip the file and locate the .gbl file inside the unzipped directory.
3. Log in to Remote Manager.
4. Click the Data Services tab.
5. Click Data Files.
6. Click Upload Files; browse and select the *.gbl firmware file to upload it.
7. Send an HTTP SCI request to Remote manager with the path of the .gbl file; see the example
below.
