APPENDIX D: FIRMWARE UPGRADE

The WhereLAN-III’s firmware can be upgraded manually without the use of

iSensor or similar tool set. The upgrade can take place through the Menu

system on the WhereLAN-III, and a network connection supporting either

FTP or TFTP must be present. The following examples are done using an SSH

connection. However any of the way to get to the WhereLAN-III Menu

system is valid. All the same generation location sensors on site must have

same Firmware Build Date. (All WhereLAN-III’s must have same WhereLAN-

III firmware and all WhereLAN-2’s must have same WhereLAN-2 firmware).

Note the upgrade files must be placed in the ftp root directory on the

server machine. (Files: initrd.boot, jffs2_ls.img, u-boot.bin, uImage_ls,

and upgrade.txt)

Figure 41 Ftproot Directory

With the release of VSS 4.0.5.2, the firmware files for the WhereLAN-III

will be included now as a standard part of VSS. The files will be under

the / inetpub\ftproot\WhereNet\Server\G3v501 directory.
