Update modem firmware by using a local firmware file

You can update your modem firmware by uploading a modem firmware file to your IX14 device. Firmware should be uploaded to /opt/MODEM_MODEL/Custom_Firmware, for example, /opt/LM940/Custom_Firmware.

Modem firmware can be downloaded from Digi here. Follow instructions on this page to determine the cellular module used by your device. After downloading, use tar or a similar unzipping tool to extract the firmware prior to uploading to the device. Note that the firmware file may not have a tar.gz extension, but it is a tar file and can be unzipped with tar or a similar tool. See Use the scp command for information about uploading files to the IX14 device.

Select the device in Remote Manager and click Actions > Open Console, or log into the IX14 local command line as a user with full Admin access rights.
Depending on your device configuration, you may be presented with an Access selection menu. Type admin to access the Admin CLI.

To perform an firmware update by using a local file, use the version parameter to identify the appropriate firmware version as determined using the modem firmware check or modem firmware list command. For example::
