Download the new firmware files from the Y Soft Partners' Portal (http://partners.ysoft.com) to the SafeQ server.

Copy the new firmware files into the "update" folder (typically: C:/SafeQ/server/update).

Edit the configuration file (safeQ.fwupdate.conf or fwupdate.conf), which is located in the SafeQ home directory in the folder ...\conf\modules (or ...\conf\), as described in the following example. (The configuration file includes parameters for different versions of terminals and for the recharging station.)

In the Terminal Ultralight firmware, look at the highlighted. As a general rule, on the left side of the equal sign ( = ) is the definition of the current firmware, and on the right is the new firmware. In the example shown here, the last time the firmware was updated, version 1.1.[0-9]ul was updated to version 1.2.3.

NOTE: Brackets indicate a range of firmware. For example, 1.1.[0-9] means any firmware version from 1.1.0 to 1.1.9

Open the configuration file on the server.

• • Add a line as shown on the image.

    • for Emergency update add line like: update-fw-ulemergency = ultralight-1.2.3.fw

    • for Regular update add line like: update-fw-1.1.[0-9]ul = ultralight-1.2.3.fw

• • Save the file; then close it.

NOTE: Lines which stated with # symbol is not taken into account.

SafeQ server is now prepared for regular or emergency update (depends on lines added into configuration file in step before).

Prepare configuration file on SafeQ server as described above in Downloading the firmware files and editing the configuration file

Authenticate at the terminal. The update process begins. The update process can take several minutes, depending on the connection. The terminal LEDs indicates when the update is complete.

Try to authenticate on the terminal.

If you are able to authenticate, you have now successfully upgraded the terminal firmware.

Prepare configuration file on SafeQ server as described above in Downloading the firmware files and editing the configuration file.

Unplug the terminal power cable.

Use a paper clip or a small screwdriver to push the Emergency button and hold it.

Continue to hold the button pressed while you plug the power cable back in.

The terminal emits a short series of beeps (from 1 beep to 5 beeps) with pauses between each series. Each series represents an action you can take. After the series of 5 beeps, it starts over with 1 beep again.

Release button during the pause after the:

• • 1-beep if you want to restore default configuration settings

  • 2-beep if you want to do the emergency firmware update

  • 3-beep if you want to do the normal firmware update

  • 4-beep if you want to do the emergency reload - reset configuration to default and start emergency update

  • 5-beep if you want to set network configuration to use DHCP server

After the action is selected it is processed and the terminal is rebooted after that.

Card reader protocol is not reset during restore configuration to default.

Terminal Ultralight and Network card reader are shipped with configuration reset to default.

Try to authenticate on the terminal.

If you are able to authenticate, you have now successfully performed one of selected procedures.
