Part D – Upgrading the Firmware in Your Barricade.
IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN MULTIPLE VPN TUNNELS YOU MUST update your
firmware to VERSION 140018 or later!
Upgrades for your Barricade Broadband are readily available on the Internet at
www.smc.com. They are stored in compressed format to minimize the time it takes to
download. The files take one of two forms.
1. “Zipped” format – this format requires you to have special software in order to extract
the update files.
2. “Self-extracting” format – this format does not require any special software in order to
extract the files.
The preferred form to download is “Self-extracting”. This will eliminate the necessity of
having special software to extract the files.
When you downloaded the latest update you execute the self-extracting file and it will
create a directory with the name “SMC” and place the extracted files in this directory.
The actual update file has the extension of .DLF This will be important later on in this
process.
Once you have completed the download and extraction process you can start the
Firmware Update Process.
1. To Upgrade the Firmware in your Barricade you must Login to the Barricade and
begin from the main menu screen. Select “Tools” from the menu.
