Uploading new Hub RTLS firmware
You can easily change the Hub RTLS firmware to a different version. Before beginning a
firmware upload, make sure the client machine can access the hub RTLS firmware through a
CD, hard drive, or local network.
Uploading hub RTLS firmware is non-reversible. Therefore, make sure you install the proper firmware to the Hub.
To upload Dart Hub RTLS firmware:
1 Start Hub Administration and Management application, click Administration.
2 In the Administration view, on the Hub FW tab, click Browse… under Upload Hub RTLS

4 Click Upload. The upload action will subsequently reboot the hub.
5 When prompted, close and re-open the browser window (for FW version 4.1.0 or earlier) or
connect to hub using the Zebra Hub Manager (for FW version 5.0.0 and up) to begin using
the new firmware.
