System Version Information
To determine the hardware capability of your W406-LX, and what kind of software functions are
supported, check the version numbers of your W406-LX’s kernel, and user file system. Contact
Moxa to determine the hardware version. You will need the Production S/N (Serial Number),
which is located on the W406-LX’s bottom label.
To check the kernel version, type:
#kversion
192.168.3.127 – PuTTY
root@Moxa:~# kversion
W406-LX version 1.0
root@Moxa:~#
NOTE: The kernel version number is for the factory default configuration, and if you download
the latest firmware version from Moxa’s website and then upgrade the W406’s hardware, the
kernel version will be different.
Upgrading the Firmware
The W406-LX’s bios, 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
W406-x.x.x.hfm, with “x.x.x” indicating the firmware version. To upgrade the firmware,
download the firmware file to a PC, and then transfer the file to the W406-LX via a Debug Port or
Telnet Console connection.
ATTENTION
Upgrading the firmware will erase some data on the Flash ROM
Beware that updating the firmware will erase some of the data on the Flash ROM. We strongly
suggest that you should back up your application files and data before updating the firmware.
