Update firmware
The firmware for a ConnectPort LTS product can be updated in several ways:
 In the web interface, by the Administration > Update Firmware page
 From the command-line interface, via TFTP or BOOTP.
The recommended method for firmware upgrade is to download the firmware to a local hard drive.
Prerequisites
These procedures assume that:
 A firmware file has already been downloaded from the Digi web site.
 That TFTP or BOOTP is running.
Update firmware from a file from the web interface
1. From the Main menu, click Administration > Update Firmware. The Update Firmware page
is displayed.
2. Enter the name of the firmware file in the Select Firmware edit box, or click Browse to locate
and select the firmware.
3. Click Update.
Important: DO NOT close the browser until the update is complete and a reboot prompt has
been displayed.
Update firmware from a TFTP or BOOTP Server from the command line
Updating firmware and from a TFTP or BOOTP server is done from the command-line interface
using this command:
boot load=host ip address:loadfile
See the description of the “boot” command in the ConnectPort LTS Command Reference for more
information.
Update BIOS code
BIOS code can be updated through the boot loader only. To update BIOS code, see “Disaster
recovery” on page 142.
Before uploading the firmware, it is very important to read the Release Notes supplied with the
firmware to check if the BIOS code must be updated before updating the firmware.
