Upgrading RSM-8R4 Firmware
4. To proceed with the upgrade, select either option 1 or option 2. The AFS-16 will
display a message that indicates that the unit is waiting for data. Leave the current
Telnet/SSH client session connected at this time.
5. Open your FTP/SFTP application and (if you have not already done so,) login to the
AFS-16 unit, using a username and password that permit access to Administrator
Level commands.
6. Transfer the md5 format upgrade file to the AFS-16.
7. After the file transfer is complete, the AFS-16 will install the upgrade file and then
reboot itself and break all port connections. Note that it will take approximately 10
minutes to complete the installation process. The unit will remain accessible until it
reboots.
a) Some FTP/SFTP applications may not automatically close when the file transfer
is complete. If this is the case, you may close your FTP/SFTP client manually
after it indicates that the file has been successfully transferred.
b) When the upgrade process is complete, the AFS-16 will send a message to
all currently connected network sessions, indicating that the AFS-16 is going
down for a reboot.

When firmware upgrades are available, WTI will provide the necessary files. At that time,
an updated Users Guide or addendum will also be available.
