1.30 Automatic update configuration
In the window Automatic update it is possible to set automatic configuration update. This
choice enables that the router automatically downloads the configuration and the newest
firmware from the server itself. The configuration and firmware are stores on the server.
By Enable automatic update of configuration it is possible to enable automatic configuration
update and by Enable automatic update of firmware it is possible to enable firmware update.
Item Description
Source In the item source can be set, where new firmware download:
• HTTP/FTP server – new firmware or configuration look at address in
the Base URL item.
• USB flash drive – Router finds current firmware or configuration in the
root directory of the connected USB device.
• Both – looking for the current firmware or configuration from both
sources.
Base URL By parameter Base URL it is possible to enter base part of the domain
or IP address, from which the configuration file will be downloaded.
Unit ID Name of configuration. If the Unit ID is not filled, then as the file name
used the MAC address of the router. (The delimiter is a colon is used
instead of a dot.)
Update Hour Automatic configuration update starts 5 minutes after turning on the
router and then every 24 hours or it is possible to set the time of au-
tomatic configuration in parameter Update Hour. If the entered URL is
dif ferent configuration than in the router then the router downloads this
configuration and restarts itself.
Table 67: Automatic update configuration
The configuration file name is from parameter Base URL, hardware MAC address of ETH0
interface and cfg extension. Hardware MAC address and cfg extension is connected automat-
ically and it isn’t needed to enter this. By parameter Unit ID enabled it defines the concrete
configuration name which will be download to the router. When using parameter Unit ID,
hardware MAC address in configuration name will not be used.
The firmware file name is from parameter Base URL, type of router and bin extension.
It is necessary to load two files (.bin and .ver) to the HTTP/FTP server. If there is uploaded
only the .bin file and the HTTP server send wrong answer 200 OK (instead of expected 404
Not Found) when the device try to download the nonexistent .ver file, then there is a high risk
that the router will download the .bin file over and over again.
The following examples find if there is a new firmware or configuration each day at 1:00 in
the morning. An example is given on the type of router ER75i v2.
• Firmware: http://router.cz/er75i-v2.bin
• Configuration file: http://router.cz/temelin.cfg
