Network Updates

The Monitor/Loader (M/L) on the EM500, EM510, EM2000, EM2001, TPP2(G2), and TPP3(G2)) supports firmware updates via Ethernet.

The M/L on the WM2000 and WS1102 supports firmware updates over Wi-Fi, but only after the autoconnect parameter of the Device Configuration Block (DCB) has been set to yes.

Update Procedure

After connecting your Tibbo device to your local network — either through Ethernet or Wi-Fi — carry out the following steps to update its firmware:

An infographic detailing how to place a Tibbo device in network upgrade phase.

1. On your computer, run the Device Explorer utility.

2. The target device should appear in the list and its version should read: "TiOS-32 Loader (Vx.xx)" — "Vx.xx" is the firmware version of the M/L.

3. If your device does not appear on the list, click Refresh to rescan the network for Tibbo devices.

4. Select the target device in the list, click Upload, and choose Load Firmware Through the Network.

5. A dialog will open prompting to select a file. After doing so, click Open to begin the upload (the green status LED will flicker while the yellow status LED will remain solid).

6. Your device will reboot automatically after the update is completed.
