6.1 Downloading new firmware using TFTP without WBM and CLI
Firmware
The firmware is signed and encrypted. This ensures that only firmware created by Siemens
can be downloaded to the device.
Procedure with Microsoft Windows
Using TFTP, you can supply a device with new firmware even when it cannot be reached using
WBM or CLI. This section explains the procedure based on the example of Microsoft Windows.
Follow the steps below to load new firmware using TFTP:
1. Turn off the power to the device.
2. Press the button and reconnect the power supply to the device while holding down the
button.
3. Hold down the button until the red fault LED "F" starts to flash.
4. Release the button as long as the red error LED is still flashing..
Note
This time only lasts a few seconds.
The bootloader of the device waits in this status for a new firmware file that you can
download by TFTP.
5. Connect a PC to port "P1" via an Ethernet cable.
6. Assign an IP address to the device using DHCP or the Primary Setup Tool.
7. Open a Windows command prompt and change to the directory where the file with the new
firmware is located and then execute the following command :
tftp -i <IP address> put <firmware file>
Note
You can enable TFTP in Microsoft Windows as follows:
"Control Panel" > "Programs and Features" > "Turn Windows features on or off" > "TFTP
Client".
8. Once the firmware has been transferred completely to the device and validated, there is
an automatic restart on the device. This may take several minutes.
