Transferring Software and Configuration Files
This section instructs you on installing new software releases on
RICi-E3, RICi-T3 units and transferring configuration files.
RICi-E3, RICi-T3 stores two software versions, each of them in one of the two
partitions of its flash memory, which also contains a boot program. The software
is stored in compressed format. The active version is decompressed and loaded
into the RICi-E3, RICi-T3 RAM upon power-up. The passive software is kept for
backup purposes. If the active software becomes corrupted, you can swap it with
the backup. By default, RICi-E3, RICi-T3 ships active software only.
New software releases are distributed as image files (*.img) downloaded to
RICi-E3, RICi-T3. Once downloading starts, the current backup is erased and the
new software release is placed in the backup partition instead. When
downloading is completed, the unit checks the integrity of the new software file.
If approved, the new software release becomes active and the previously active
software becomes the backup. If a failure occurs while downloading, the new
version is erased and only the previous version remains on the flash memory.
Configuration files can be uploaded for storage and backup.
Management software allows file transfer via TFTP only. You may also download
the software files to RICi-E3, RICi-T3 using the Boot Manager, using XMODEM or
TFTP, as explained in
Appendix B .
