System Version Information
To determine the hardware capability of your UC-8410/8416/8418 and what kind of software
functions are supported, check which version of the firmware your UC-8410/8416/8418 is running.
Contact Moxa to determine the hardware version. You will need the Production S/N (Serial
number), which is located on the UC-8410/8416/8418’s bottom label.
To check the kernel version, type:
#kversion
192.168.3.127 – PuTTY

Firmware Upgrade
Upgrading the Firmware
The UC-8410/8416/8418’s kernel, and root file system are combined into one firmware file, which
can be downloaded from Moxa’s website (www.moxa.com). The name of the file has the form
FWR_uc8400_Va.b.c_Build_YYMMDDHH.hfm, with “a.b.c” indicating the firmware version
and YYMMDDHH indicating the build date. To upgrade the firmware, download the firmware
file to a PC, and then transfer the file to the UC-8410/8416/8418 unit via a serial console or Telnet
console connection.
ATTENTION
Upgrading the firmware will erase all data on the Flash ROM
If you are using the ramdisk to store code for your applications, beware that updating the
firmware will erase all of the data on the Flash ROM. You should back up your application files
and data before updating the firmware.
