8. Firmware Update OTA

1.
2.

Prior to doing a firmware update on any Xirgo product you will need a FTP server where you can host firmware files.
You will need the following credentials once you setup you FTP server in order to compile a +XT:1004 command:
a. DIR is the subdirectory under which the Firmware files will be stored
b. FUSN is the username used for login into the FTP
c. FPWD is the password used for login into the FTP
d. FIP is an FTP server IP address in the form YYY.YYY.YYY.YYY or a DNS name

3.
4.

Once you have the FTP credentials, compile a 1004 command, Example +XT:1004,/,xirgo3,xirgo1,68.237.174.21
Per example below send a SMS to device phone# with +XT:1004 command as show in step #3

1004 command
sent to device
phone#
Successful
response back

5.
6.

Now the device is ready for Firmware update. The XT-4700 series of device has one main firmware file.
Construct +XT:1006,<bb>, <filename> command to update MAIN FW. Example +XT:1006,1,X001-1111F2

<bb> signifies which firmware to update main firmware

1 for Main FW,

<filename> field is firmware file name without extension

7. Send constructed command via SMS, example #1. Once the SMS is sent #2 is first reply back from device with indication
that device has begun DOTA process. The final response #3 indicates successfully firmware update. This completed process
of updating Main firmware on device.

st

1 SMS response indicates

that command was
accepted and device will
begin DOTA

2 SMS response indicates

device MAIN Firmware
was successfully update.

nd

1006 command sent
