9 L-Gate Firmware Update
The L-Gate firmware supports remote upgrade over the network and the serial console.
To guarantee that the L-Gate is not destroyed due to a failed firmware update, the L-Gate
firmware consists of two images:
• L-Gate fallback image,
• L-Gate primary image.
The L-Gate fallback image cannot be changed. Thus, if the update of the primary image
fails or the image is destroyed by some other means, the fallback image is booted and
allows to reinstall a valid primary image.
When the L-Gate boots up with the fallback image, the CEA-709 port LED and the
STATUS LED are flashing red.
9.1 Firmware Update via the Configurator
The L-Gate primary image can be updated using the Configurator. For this purpose, the
device must be connected to the Ethernet and must have a valid IP configuration (see
Section 4.2.4). The L-Gate Configurator must be installed (see Section 6.1).
To Update the Firmware using the Configurator
1. Start the L-Gate Configurator from the Windows Start menu: Start Æ Programs Æ
LOYTEC L-Gate Configuratior Æ Configure L-Gate.
2. Select the menu: Connection Æ Connect via FTP. This opens the FTP connection
dialog as shown in Figure 115.
