9 Upgrading the eWON firmware
9.1 Purpose
There are two ways to upgrade the eWON firmware: by using eBuddy, the eWON utility designed to set up the eWON, or by directly uploading a
new firmware on the eWON by means of a FTP client.
9.2 Upgrading the eWON firmware with eBuddy
eBuddy allows you to update your eWONs with the latest firmware versions that are available for download from the eWON web site.
eBuddy downloads the firmwares and it stocks them in a folder on the local machine.
When you use the Update Firmware feature, eBuddy compares the firmware on the selected eWON with the latest firmwares, and it proposes to
you to upgrade your eWON with one of the stored and up-to-date firmwares.
That means you first have to update eBuddy itself prior to upgrade the eWON firmware (please refer to the “eBuddy User Guide” you can
download from Support/Documentation/User guides on http://www.ewon.biz
).
The second link in the eBuddy Wizard home page is used if you want to update the firmware from one of the eWONs on your network. Click on
the link to launch the wizard:
Select an eWON, either by entering directly its serial number or by choosing it in the Select an eWON dialog box; enter the login and password for
the eWON, then click on Next
in the Update Firmware Wizard.
Select the firmware Language and Version you want to apply, then click Next.
