Normal firmware update
Access your product web interface and go to the Information panel.

In case you upgrade a firmware from a version below 3.0 to a 3.x and higher, you will need to proceed first with the Failsafe Firmware upgrade
It is generally NOT recommended to downgrade a firmware. In case you experience any issue with a newer firmware, please contact our support team prior to reverting firmware version to an older revision. There might be better solutions.
Failsafe firmware update
In some conditions, it may be necessary to use a fail safe firmware upgrade procedure.
First, install failsafe firmware
In this case, You need first to upload a firmware called xxxx_Failsafe.sar using the web interface (Upload firmware button).
Wait while the firmware is being uploaded and validated by the product.
Second, install normal firmware
The web interface should refresh automatically to display the fail-safe page.
You can now select the firmware itself to upload and install it. This operation can take some time as the firmware is quite large (100 Mo).
Please wait and don’t refresh the web page until all operations are completed. After 1 to 2 minutes, the device should restart automatically in normal mode.
The web page should be also automatically refreshed. However, if it’s not the case, just refresh manually the web page.
You should land on the standard web interface.
Internal GNSS firmware update
If your product has an internal Septentrio GNSS receiver such as EKINOX-D, APOGEE-D, NAVSIGHT-S or QUANTA units, you may have an additional step.

This operation can take up to 20 minutes and should NOT be interrupted before it’s completed.
