Software update Upgrade via Web Interface

The loader uses the TFTP services provided by the gateway to download on the unit the application file plus all
other support files avoiding the user to download each file separately.
The loader can be used to upgrade an existing software version or can be used to download a new complete
software release if the gateway is running in recovery mode.
When the Loader is used to upgrade the gateway from a previous software release, all the existing configura-
tion files are kept.
Note: Starting with release 3-1-0, a special Loader application has been developed to also upgrade the
recovery application code installed in the recovery partition. The graphical interface is the same as that
used for the main application code.
When using the Loader, the IP address of the residential Gateway must be selected and the SNMPv2 commu-
nity write name is requested as session password.
