Configuration of the Local Navigator Bluetooth Base Station:
The automatic firmware update mode is set by clicking into the check box ‘Enable
Automatic Firmware Update’ as shown in Image 4.2.
The IP address of the FTP server, where the firmware files are stored also has to be
specified in this dialog. It is a prerequisite, that the FTP server is in the same network
as the Base Station.
When changing the data in this dialog, a click on Submit / Restart will transfer this
information to the device and change the mode appropriately.
Image 4.2 -Automatic Firmware Update
After download of a new firmware version, the flash programming is started. This is
indicated at the Base Station by LED4 and LED5 blinking in parallel. The following
start of the application starts as usual with an initialization phase and LED5 is blinking
for appr. 3 seconds. After that, the new application is in execution. To leave the
automatic firmware update mode, the corresponding check box has to be disabled in
the dialog and the Submit / Restart button has to be clicked.
Important notice:
The discovery of new devices can in some networks last a
specific time and is not possible in realtime. This can cause an
inability to perform an automatic firmware update though
configured, because the device is not already discovered in the
network, when it starts a download. In this case the user or
administrator should wait until the Base Station is discovered by
the network and should then start a configuration session by the
internet browser. A click on the Submit / Restart button should be
sufficient to start a firmware update.
During automatic firmware update, the device is inaccessible for configuration.
A detailed description of the necessary configuration of the FTP server is given later
in this document.
