Administration
Caution
During a firmware upgrade, do not try to go online, turn off the device, shut down the PC, or interrupt the
process in any way until the operation is complete. This process takes about a minute, including the reboot
process. Interrupting the upgrade process at specific points when the flash memory is being written to may
corrupt it and render the router unusable.
Step 2
If you select to upgrade from the USB drive, the router will search the USB flash drive for a firmware image file whose
name has one or more of the following: PID, MAC address, and Serial Number. If there are multiple firmware files in
the USB flash drive, the router will check the one with the most specific name, i.e. priority from high to low.
Manual Upgrade
To update the router with a newer version of the firmware.
Step 1
Select Administration > File Management.
Step 2
In the Manual Upgrade section, select the file type (Firmware Image, Signature File, USB Dongle Driver or Language
File).
Step 3
In the Upgrade From section, select an option (Cisco.com, PC, or USB) and click Refresh.
Step 4
Check Reset all configuration/setting to factory defaults to reset all the configuration and apply factory defaults.
Step 5
Click Upgrade to upload the selected image to the device.
Auto Update
The router supports loading a firmware from USB flash drive if the USB stick is present during the system
bootup. The router will search the USB flash drive for a firmware image file whose name has one or more of
the following: PID, MAC address, and Serial Number. If there are multiple firmware files in the USB flash
drive, the router will check the one with the most specific name, i.e. priority from high to low.
• PID-MAC-SN.IMG
• PID-SN.IMG
• PID-MAC.IMG
• PID.IMG
The files with other names will be ignored. If the version is higher than the current version, it will be upgraded
to this image and the DUT will reboot. After that, the upgrade process will start again.
If it does not find a more recent image in the USB1, then it will check the USB2 using the same logic.
The router also supports loading a configuration file from a USB flash drive during the system bootup.
• The behavior only happens when the router is in factory default and attached with a USB flash drive
before it is
powered on.
