9.8.1 Online Update
Firmware Over the Air (FOTA) allows for timely and automatic firmware upgrades. By default, FOTA is
enabled on the NR2301 and it checks for firmware updates automatically. It will do so each time it is
turned on and connected to the Internet. You can disable it in the NR2301’s LCD screen. See Chapter 1
on page 19 for more information.
Use the Online Update screen to manually check for new firmware online. To access this screen, click
APP MODULE > Update > Online Update. The current firmware version is displayed. Click the Check New
Update button to see if any update is available. Make sure your NR2301 is connected to the Internet.
Click Return to return to the APP MODULE list.
The upload process uses HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and may take several minutes. After a
successful upload, the system will reboot.
Do NOT turn off the NR2301 while firmware upload is in progress!
