19. Maintenance (Firmware Upgrade)
Upgrade the NetCommander IP fi rmware to take advantage of new features.
When updated fi rmware is available, it will be posted in the Support section
of Tripp Lite’s website – www.tripplite.com. If there is no fi rmware available
on the Tripp Lite website, there is not an updated version available.

appears showing the current fi rmware version. See the fi gure below.
1. Verify the current Firmware Version on your NetCommander IP and
match it against the Firmware Upgrade available on Tripp Lite’s website.
If they match, you are running the most current fi rmware and do not need
to upgrade.

Upgrade File in the Support section of Tripp Lite’s website and save it to
the currently selected computer.

click the Browse button and select the Firmware Upgrade File you just
saved.
4. Click Start Upgrade. The upgrade starts. On completion, click Reboot.
The unit reboots. After about 30 seconds the Login page appears.

no longer access the system, you can restore the device fi rmware from
the Safe mode. See the Restore Device Firmware section on page 16-17
for instructions on how to do this.
