Chapter 4 — Managing, Troubleshooting, and Upgrading the IF61
112 IF61 Fixed Reader User’s Manual
4 Drag-and-drop the upgrade file onto the IF61 you want to
upgrade. SmartSystems server tells you that it is installing the
upgrade on the IF61.
The SmartSystems server shows the IF61 as being offline until
the reader reboots and reconnects to the system.
Upgrading with a USB Drive
1 Follow the procedure for configuring the upgrade file. For
help, see “Configuring the Firmware Upgrade” on page 108.
2 Copy the upgrade file to a USB flash drive.
3 Insert the USB drive into one of the IF61 USB ports. If the
IF61 is on, it automatically loads the upgrade file and begins
the upgrade process. Otherwise the IF61 runs the upgrade the
next time it boots.
Upgrading with an Avalanche Package
After you configure the upgrade file, create an Avalanche software
package using SmartSystems Software Bundles. For more
information, see the Avalanche and SmartSystems
documentation.
Note: To use this method, make sure the Enable External USB
check box in the IF61 web browser interface is checked. For help,
see “Managing USB Devices” on page 101.
Do not cycle power to the IF61 during the upgrade. If AC
power is lost during the upgrade, the IF61 may require factory
repair.
