B - 4 FX Series RFID Readers Integrator Guide
d. Click Start Update to start the update. The reader indicates that it is going to shutdown.
e. The green LED on the reader flashes during the update. The reader application software first downloads
osupFX.exe, FlashUpdateUtility.dll, and Response.txt files, starts running Osupdate, and shuts down.
Osupdate then downloads all the files specified in the Response.txt file into RAM, and if successful writes
the files to Flash. If the ftp is not successful, no files are written to Flash.
f. The update can take up to 15 minutes. Do not remove power to the reader or reboot the reader during the
update.
g. The reader reboots when the update completes.
h. If the reader is set up with a static IP address, it restores the static IP address and reboots again.
i. The reader may reboot a third time if the FPGA version has changed.
10. Log onto the web console, access the Version Control screen, and verify the new upgrade version is running.
NOTE During the FPGA update, all the LEDs turn off for about 90 seconds.
If there is a power outage during the upgrade, when the power comes back on, the reader Monitor
program retrieves all the files using the TFTP server and saves them to Flash.
