Configuring the Firmware Upgrade
The Upgrade Package installer configures IF61 firmware
upgrades. The configuration you need depends on the method
you use to upgrade the IF61:
• via the web browser interface.
• by inserting a USB flash drive into one of the IF61 USB
ports.
• using Intermec SmartSystems Server.
• using Wavelink Avalanche.
This section explains how to choose the correct configuration.
Make sure the IF61 is connected to a reliable AC power source
before you upgrade the firmware. Do not cycle power to the
IF61 during the upgrade. If AC power is lost during the
upgrade, the IF61 may require factory repair.
Note: To upgrade the firmware, use only .bin files provided by
Intermec. Be sure to contact your Intermec RFID system
consultant before upgrading. To locate IF61 upgrades at
www.intermec.com, see the previous section, “Accessing Intermec
Web Pages.”
