OTA Firmware Update Setup page

You can use the OTA Firmware Update Setup page in the web interface to enable automatic firmware updates, uploading XBee Gateway firmware image files, and management of XBee Gateway firmware files.

The settings in the following sections control how gateway XBee firmware updates are performed:

Update Settings section

• Enable over the air firmware updates: Enable firmware updates on remote nodes over the XBee network. Firmware updates use a background process to query remote nodes for their current firmware version, and update their firmware from files stored on the gateway. By disabling this process, you can suspend firmware updates. You may want to suspend updates if the update process interferes with applications using the network.
• Automatically update nodes to the latest firmware version: When a node reports its firmware version, and a newer version of firmware is available on the gateway, schedule a firmware update without user action. Use this option to automatically update nodes as they join the network. If you do not select this option, you can manually schedule firmware updates from the Firmware Update Status page.
• Stop automatic updates if an update error occurs: If an error occurs while updating a node, suspend further updates of other nodes. You can resume updates by clicking Apply on this page.

Upload Files section

This section controls the upload XBee Gateway firmware files to the gateway. These files contain the firmware image used to update nodes on the XBee network. You can upload multiple files, where each contains a different firmware type and version. Firmware files may have the extension .ebl, .ota or .otb depending on the type of node you're attempting to update.

Click Browse to select a firmware file and then click Upload.

Manage Files section

This section lists the firmware files uploaded to the Digi device, along with their type and version number. You can remove these files from the gateway after all nodes have been updated. To delete firmware files, select the check box next to each firmware file that you want to delete and then click Delete.
