Note: Many upgrades can be performed "anonymously" from the
FTP server.
To perform the upgrade:
1. Choose Maintenance > Firmware Upgrade. The Firmware Upgrade
page opens.
2. Type the IP Address of the FTP server in the IP Address field.
3. Type your login name in the Login field.
4. Type your password in the Password field.
5. Type the path to the firmware file in the File Path field (for example,
/home/downloads/firmware/UpgradePack_2.5.6_3.1.0.5.2/Pack1of1).
6. Click Upgrade.
The upgrade lasts about 20 minutes. After about half the time, the SX
unit will restart. The upgrade will continue for another 20 minutes or
so after the restart.
Once the upgrade is initiated, the upgrade status message indicates
the progress of the upgrade. The files are copied and the unit is
reset. You receive the following message:
Upgrade is Complete, The unit is now resetting.
The blue light on your SX will turn off, flash once while it is extracting
more files, turn off, then turn on and remain on. You will be logged
out. It should now be running the new firmware.
Note: If the upgrade fails, the system will display an error message
detailing the failure.
