M71V2 WPA/WPA2 Firmware Download - Path to version 2.1.4
INSTRUCTION for updating the M71V2 Firmware over the RF link.
Download these files and move them to a location you can easily remember (do not unzip the rdisk.gz file). Send the zImage file first, then the rdisk file.
DO NOT cycle the power until all the file transfers are complete.
The basic process to upgrading the M71V2 firmware is to point your internet web browser (Internet Explorer for example), to the IP address of your M71V2 handheld. The files will be transferred to the M71V2 unit over the RF link and no cables or other software is required. The handheld must be on and connected to the same network as your PC.
Once you have successfully connected to your M71V2, you will see a green AML screen (this is generated and sent to your PC by the M71V2 terminal). You will then select the "Reprogram Device Firmware" link.
At the bottom of the displayed webpage, you will see several file options. For each file type, use the radio button to select the type of file being programmed, then attach the file using the browse button (do not unzip the "rdiskxx.gz" file for this operation).
Finally, hit submit to start the process (do not turn the power off on your M71V2 during this process).
When finished, the unit will either create a green OK screen or a red error screen based on the results (this could take several minutes). If there are errors, try sending the file again before power cycling the unit.
When updating your M71V2 firmware, always upgrade the Linux Kernel as well as the RAM Disk (rdisk32).
