12.6.6 Updating the Firmware
You can update the firmware of the EBW-E100 manually. The firmware is a
combination of operating system and programs, in which the device functions are
implemented. You'll find the latest firmware under www.insys-icom.com/firmware.
Function loss due to faulty update!
A connection failure during the update and a following
restart may cause a loss of function of the EBW-E100.
As long as the red Status LED is illuminated, you are not
permitted to perform any actions at the web interface, you
must not pull the power plug and you must not perform a
reset.
After a failed update, do not restart the device; contact the
support of INSYS icom.
Complete update of the firmware
The following steps must be performed to update the firmware.
You have access to the web interface.
If you access the web interface via a dial-up connection, the connection
must be maintained long enough to perform the uploads. The option
"Maximum connect-time" should be set to "0" for the update, also the "Idle
time".
You have ensured that the power supply cannot be switched off during the
update procedure.
You have the firmware files with the names "system_<rev>" and
"data_<rev>". The files can be located on the PC from which you want to
perform the update.
1. In the menu "System", switch to the page "Update".
2. Click on Browse... in the "Manual update" section and select the file
"system_<rev>".
3. Click on OK to start the update.
A page with a security query is displayed. Compare the displayed MD5
checksum with the MD5 checksum of the file (e.g. using the
md5sum.exe tool). If they match, the file has been transferred
correctly and you can proceed with the update. The time until the file
is completely transmitted varies, depending on the firmware size.
4. Confirm the query with Yes .
The update process starts. The browser waits. During the update, the
Status/VPN LED lights up red.
