Firmware management

This menu item is used to update the device firmware or switch the device to a different firmware version. The following firmware-specific actions are available:

Check for firmware updates
Manually starts the automatic search for firmware updates. Here, the online LANCOM database and your local firmware archives are searched for firmware versions that are more recent than those currently installed on the selected device. Also see the chapter Searching for firmware updates in the archive.
Upload new firmware
Opens a file selection dialog with which you can upload a specific firmware file to the selected device.
Note: The firmware already on a device is overwritten when the new firmware is uploaded. For this reason, the upload should not be interrupted under any circumstances as the device may no longer function properly.
Activate firmware running in test mode ([memory space number])
If you have performed a firmware update for a device and this is running in the (time-limited) test mode, you can use this menu item to permanently activate this firmware. Learn more about this in section FirmSafe.
1, 2 [firmware version] of [date]
Devices with FirmSafe are able to manage two firmware versions. This allows the system to return to the previous firmware in the event of a failed update or in case of problems, for example. The memory space numbers 1 and 2 enable you to select another firmware version and restart the device.
Note: Note that switching the firmware terminates any existing connections and deletes all statistics and charging information.
