This article describes how to upgrade software on Exigo devices: Amplifiers, Access Panels (and also the Secondary System Controller).

Upgrade using the Web Interface

Prerequisites

  1. A TFTP Server must be available. A TFTP server can be downloaded from here: http://tftpd32.jounin.net/tftpd32_download.html
  2. Download the latest Exigo firmware/software package and unzip the folder.
  3. Check if your local firewall is not blocking incoming ping/ICMP (Turbine station is pinging TFTP Server during update process).

Upgrade procedure

  • Start the TFTP server program and click Browse, and select the folder where the latest version of exi-x.x.x.x software files are located
TFTP32


  • Log on to the Secondary System Controller web interface. Default login credentials are admin and alphaadmin. Select Station Administration > Manual Upgrade
  • Enter the IP address of the TFTP server (I.e. the IP address of your PC)
  • Enter the image file: exi-x.x.x.x, and click Save settings
Secondary System Controller - Upgrade web interface


The station will now contact the TFTP server and download the files. The upgrade procedure takes about 3 minutes. The process can be monitored by clicking the Log viewer tab in the TFTP server program.

Additional Information

Installing a TFTP server on your PC

  • Download the TFTP Server program tftpd64 standard edition (installer) from http://tftpd32.jounin.net/tftpd32_download.html.
  • For 32 bit computers download tftpd32 standard edition (installer)
  • Unzip the tftpdxx.yyy.zip file. (e.g. to C: \tftpdxx\)
  • Run the tftpdxx.exe file. The program is run by selecting the extracted .exe file, no installation is needed.
  • Turn off every thing except "TFTP Server" under Settings > Global. Escpecially important to turn off "DHCP Server", as this server part of the tftpxx application may interfere with other DHCP servers in the network
  • Select the base directory (e.g. C:\Software) by selecting the Settings > TFTP, then Browse
  • The TFTP Server program must be running during the software upgrade process

Troubleshooting

In the case the upgrade is not successful it may be due to a windows setting.
