Firmware Upload |
The NetRS system is based on a Linux operating system running a set of programs, all of which is collectively refered to as the Firmware. As enhancements are made to the firmware, new versions are released that can be uploaded and installed into your NetRS. Each new version is packaged in a firmware file. See the Firmware Status page for more details.
When a new version of firmware becomes available, you can upload and install it into your NetRS. A firmware file must first be obtained from the Trimble Support website and transfered to your local computer. From there, the file must be uploaded into your NetRS. This upload is is controlled through the Firmware Upload page of the web browser interface.
Use the Browse button to locate the firmware file on your network or local machine. Once the firmware file has been selected, use the Upload button to trigger the transfer to the NetRS. When this process finishes, your web browser will switch to the Firmware Status page. From there, the new firmware can be installed in the NetRS.
Uploaded firmware files are stored on the NetRS in the same area that is used for logged data files. Firmware files can be as large as 15 megabytes. Sufficient space must be available in the data logging area to contain the entire firmware file being uploaded. The Firmware Upload page indicates how much space is available. Check this against the size of the firmware file before starting the upload. If sufficient space is not available you must reclaim space by deleting either old firmware files or unneeded logged data files.
