current configuration being overwritten and a reboot
12.8 Upgrading Wirelesss Controller Firmware
Tools > Firmware
You can upgrade to a newer software version from the Administration web page. In
the Firmware Upgrade section, to upgrade your firmware, click Browse, locate and
select the firmware image on your host, and click Upgrade. After the new firmware
image is validated, the new image is written to flash, and the controller is
automatically rebooted with the new firmware. The Firmware Information and also
the
Status > Device Info > Device Status
page will reflect the new firmware
version.
IMPORTANT!
During firmware upgrade, do NOT try to go online, turn off
the DWC-1000, shut down the PC, or interrupt the process in anyway until
the operation is complete. This should take only a minute or so including
the reboot process. Interrupting the upgrade process at specific points when
the flash is being written to may corrupt the flash memory and render the
controller unusable without a low-level process of restoring the flash
firmware (not through the web GUI).
