GP-Probe Firmware Upgrade via Web Configuration Panel
To update the firmware of your GP-Probe device via the Web Configuration Panel, begin by logging in as "admin". If you are unsure how to access this panel, refer to our guide here: https://support.gpspatron.com/a/solutions/articles/101000466602
Once logged in, navigate to the "Admin/Update Firmware" section. Here, you have two options for performing the update:
- Update from GP-CLOUD FIRMWARE DIRECTORY: Select this option to download and install the latest firmware directly from the GP-Cloud.
- Local Disk Upload: If you have a firmware file available on your local drive, you can upload it manually.
Upon clicking the 'Update' button, you should observe the firmware upload process on your screen. This process involves the following steps:
- The firmware file is uploaded to the device.
- After a successful upload, the device will automatically reboot to apply the new firmware.
Do not power off the device during the firmware update process. Interruptions can corrupt the firmware and cause device malfunction.
