It is not mandatory for the unit to have access to the Internet for this feature to work. However, the PC that is used to initialize the upgrade procedure must have access to InfiNet Wireless website (both http and ftp). |

The process above is the same in case of Beta firmware version. Click the «Check Latest Beta» button for it.
Manual update
In case the PC does not have an access to the Internet, the device must be updated manually. To do this, proceed to the following steps:
Download the required firmware version in advance from the official FTP server (https://ftp.infinet.ru).
Note Pay attention to the hardware platform of the device being updated, indicated in the Firmware section.
- Firmware with Polling technology support can be downloaded via the link: https://ftp.infinet.ru/pub/Firmware/MINT/
- Firmware with TDMA technology support can be downloaded via the link: https://ftp.infinet.ru/pub/Firmware/TDMA/
- Beta versions are available via the link: https://ftp.infinet.ru/pub/Firmware/beta/
- Choose the downloaded firmware file in the "Upload" section.
- Click the "Upload" button. The upgrade process will be started.
Mass firmware upgrade
Each device has the ability to mass firmware upgrade using OTA (Over the Air) function. The firmware can be distributed to:
...
| Note | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
Only one firmware version can be applied during one mass upgrade cycle. The uploaded firmware version will be applied only to those devices that are built on the same platform. Thus if the upgraded network includes devices on different platforms, the mass upgrade cycle should be performed for each platform. In case the OTA function is enabled the uploaded firmware will not be applied to the device from which the upgrade is performed. It will be uploaded only to the other network devices. |
| Note | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
To prevent loss of a network availability, by default the upgrade from MINT to TDMA firmware versions using the OTA function is forbidden. In order to update a network over the air, enter the "mint rf5.0 -air -swmodel" command in the "Command Line" section of the device from which the network is updating. This command is valid for one firmware upgrade. In order to upgrade devices with different hardware platforms (for example, H11 and H08) or for the repeated uploading of the firmware version, the command will need to be entered again after the first upgrade is completed. |
Mass upgrade cycle includes the following steps:
- Download the required firmware version from the official FTP server (ftphttps://ftp.infinetwirelessinfinet.comru).
Choose the downloaded firmware file in the "Upload" section. Enable OTA function. Enable "Neighbors only" in case you want to upgrade only the neighbor devices.
Center - Click the "Upload" button. The mass upgrade process will be started.
Mass upgrade monitoring
The mass upgrade progress can be seen in the System Log (Device Status section): the number of upgraded devices and progress.
The remote devices will be rebooted after upgrade completion. The connection failure duration is approximately 35-40 seconds per device.

Upload
The "Upload" section allows you to upload other license, firmware and configuration files to the unit.
For each of the three options, click the «Choose «Select File» button, followed by the «Upload» button after the file has been picked up.
After clicking the «Upload» button, the system performs three operations: uploading, saving and validating the new file uploaded and indicates if each of the operation succeeded or failed. In case that the process succeeded, you have to reboot the unit in order to apply the new changes.
For example, to upload the license click on the «Select File» button (1), choose appropriate file on your computer, then click the «Upload» button (2) as it is shown on the figure below.
Download
The "Download" section allows you to download locally, to the management PC, the current license, firmware and configuration files, by clicking the corresponding buttons: «Download License», «Download Firmware» and «Download Configuration».
