Switching to the Upgraded Firmware Version
Once you have uploaded the upgraded firmware version, you must then officially implement it into your
system. The Wavion EMS has two software storage facilities (banks), both displayed in Status =>
System => Software versions, and described in the below table.
Field Description and Values
Main Firmware Indicates the name of the current loaded version of the administration
firmware (i.e. the version currently running)
Shadow Firmware Indicates the name of the new or the previously loaded version of the
administration firmware
Note: Until you have performed the above procedure, only the Main Firmware field in Status =>
System => Software versions is populated.
1. Once the new upgrade version of the administration firmware has been uploaded to the Shadow
Firmware bank, click Switch. This enables you to switch over to the newly uploaded version.
2. The system performs a reboot, and when it powers up, does so using the new version of the
firmware.
3. If at this stage you wish to revert back to the previous version of the administration software, you
can click Switch again. The system will once more perform a reboot, and the system will power up
using the previously loaded version of the firmware.
Note: At this stage, it is recommended that verify and check your connectivity with the Base Station. For
more information, see Diagnostics
.
Using the Rollback Procedure
After a firmware upgrade procedure is performed, a new configuration file is included in the upgrade,
which will adopt the current configuration settings, once the newly upgraded firmware is run.
This configuration file may contain new features that could modify current configurations; or, even if no
new features were included in the upgrade, but new configurations were specified by the user, a newer
version of the configuration file is created.
If you wish to revert back to the previous firmware and the previous configuration file, you need to
perform a Rollback procedure.
To Rollback the Firmware
1. Navigate to Administration => Firmware.
2. Click Rollback. The following message is displayed:
3. Click Yes to reboot your system, and rollback to the previous firmware and configuration file.
