OTA firmware updates
OTA XBee firmware updates update the firmware for XBee network nodes. These firmware
updates are supported for XBee ZB modules only.
Perform OTA firmware updates
To perform OTA firmware updates:
1 Download the appropriate firmware file from Digi.
2 On the gateway, upload files containing the new firmware on the
Configuration > XBee Network > OTA Firmware Update Setup page. The files must
have the extension .ebl. Multiple files can be uploaded, each containing a different firmware
type needed by nodes on the network.
3 Schedule and monitor updates of individual nodes on the OTA Firmware Update Status
page. Each scheduled update will be performed in the background, one node at a time.
While a remote node is being updated, it will be inaccessible from the XBee network. While
the XBee module in the gateway is being updated, the XBee network will inaccessible from
the gateway.
OTA Firmware Update Setup page
The OTA Firmware Update Setup page allows automatic firmware updates, uploading XBee
firmware image files, and management of XBee firmware files. Several groups of settings on this
page control how gateway XBee firmware updates are performed:
Update Settings section
Enable over the air firmware updates: Enable updates of firmware on remote nodes
over the XBee network. Firmware updates use a background process to query remote
nodes for their current firmware version, and update their firmware from files stored on
the gateway. This process may be disabled to suspend firmware updates, or if the update
process interferes with applications using the network.
Automatically update nodes to the latest firmware version: When a node reports its
firmware version, and a newer version of firmware is available on the gateway, schedule
a firmware update without user action. This option can be used to automatically update
nodes as they join the network. If this option is not selected, firmware updates can be
manually scheduled from the Firmware Update Status page.
Stop automatic updates if an update error occurs: If an error occurs while updating a
node, suspend further updates of other nodes. Updates can be resumed by clicking
Apply on this page.
Upload Files section: This section of the page is used to upload XBee firmware files to
the gateway. These files contain the firmware image used to update nodes on the
XBee network. Multiple files may be uploaded, each containing a different firmware
type and version. Firmware files must end with an .ebl extension. Click Browse to select
a firmware file and then click Upload.
Manage Files section: This section of the page lists all firmware files that have been
uploaded to the Digi device, along with their type and version number. After all nodes
have been updated, these files can be removed from the gateway. Select any files you
would like to remove and click Delete.
