APPENDIX C FTP FIRMWARE UPGRADE
Introduction
This appendix provides reader firmware update information on using the web-based Administrator Console.
The following methods are available to update the firmware on the FX7500 reader.
•
Update using a USB drive.
•
File-based update that allows uploading the firmware files from the PC (or a network location) to the
reader and running the update.
•
FTP / FTPS / SCP server-based update.
Use this procedure to update the following software components:
•
uboot
•
OS
•
Reader Server Application (includes Radio API and Radio firmware)
Prerequisites
The following items are required to perform the update:
•
Reader with power supply or POE connection
•
Laptop (or other host computer)
•
An Ethernet cable
•
An FTP server
•
Current firmware file examples:
•OSUpdate.elf
•response.txt
•u-boot_X.X.X.X.bin (uBoot, X.X.X.X is a filename version)
•uImage_ X.X.X.X (OS, X.X.X.X is a filename variable)
C - 2 FX7500 RFID Reader Integrator Guide
•rootfs_ X.X.X.X.jffs2 (Root FileSystem, X.X.X.X is a filename variable)
•platform_ X.X.X.X.tar.gz (Platform partition, X.X.X.X is a filename variable)
Refer to the release notes to determine which files were updated; not all of the files are updated in every
release.
Failsafe Update
FX7500 provides true failsafe firmware update. Each partition (such as OS and platform) has an active and
backup partition.
The firmware update process always writes the new images to the backup partition. This ensures that any
power or network outages in the middle of firmware update does not prevent the reader from being operational.
In the case of a firmware update failure, the power LED on the reader lights red.
Update Phases
The firmware update takes place in three phases:
•
Phase 1 - The reader application retrieves the response.txt and OSUpdate.elf files from the ftp server.
•
Phase 2 - The reader application shuts down and the OSUpdate starts. The files referenced in the
response.txt file are retrieved from the FTP server and written to flash.
•
Phase 3 - The reader resets after all partitions update successfully. It may also update the RFID firmware
if it detects a different version in the platform partition.
A typical entry in the Response.txt is:
;platform partition
-t5 -fplatform_1.1.15.0.tar.gz -s8004561 -u8130879
The -t parameter is the file type, -f is the name of the file, and -s the size. Ensure the file size is correct.
";" comments out the rest of the line.
NOTE The Application Server, Radio API, and Radio firmware code all reside in the Platform partition.

Updating Methods
Download the reader update files from http://www.motorolasolutions.com/support, then use one of three
methods to update the reader software to a later version, e.g., 1.1.45.0 or higher:
•
Update Using a USB Drive (Recommended)
•
File-Based Update on page C-6
•
FTP-Based Update on page C-8
Update Using a USB Drive (Recommended)
1. Copy all reader update files into the root folder of the USB drive.
Figure C-3
USB Drive Root Folder
2. Insert the USB drive into the USB host port of the FX7500 RFID reader.
Figure C-4

The reader starts the update process in 5-7 seconds, and indicates progress as follows:
•The reader continuously blinks the Power LED red.
•The reader blinks all 4 LEDs orange once.
•The reader Power LED remains steady orange.
•The reader Power LED settles to a steady green to indicate that the update is complete.

APPENDIX F CONNECTING WI-FI AND
BLUETOOTH DONGLES
Introduction
This appendix describes how to connect to a wireless network using a USB Wi-Fi dongle on the FX7500, and
how to connect to a peer device over Bluetooth using a USB Bluetooth dongle.
Connecting to a Wireless Network Using a Wi-Fi Dongle
To connect to a wireless network using a USB Wi-Fi dongle on the FX7500:
1. Plug the supported wireless dongle into the USB host port on the FX7500. Supported dongles are:
•
Wi-Fi over USB adapters with Realtek chipset RTL 8187
•
The following devices were tested:
•Alfa AWUS036H, visit http://www.alfa.com.tw/in/front/bin/ptlist.phtml?Category=10541
•CCrane Versa Wifi USB Adapter II, visit
http://www.ccrane.com/antennas/wifi-antennas/versa-wifi-usb-adapter-II.aspx

2. To confirm that the Wi-Fi dongle is detected properly, log in to the reader Administrator Console. On the
Home page ensure the USB Port Status displays Device Connected. Hover the mouse pointer over this link
to display the WiFi dongle information shown in Figure F-2.
Figure F-2
Wi-Fi Dongle Connected
3. Select Communication > Wireless.
Figure F-3
Wireless Settings
The WiFi dongle can connect to the wireless network in one of two ways:
•Manually entering the ESSID (if known).
•Scanning the current list of APs and choosing the correct one to connect to.
Connecting Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Dongles F - 3
4. Once the APs are scanned, enter the appropriate passkey and enable Connect Automatically (if required to
connect to the AP automatically if the connection is lost).
Figure F-4
Entering Connect Information
5. Select Connect. When the connection to the AP succeeds, an IP is assigned and appears in the
IP Address field.
Figure F-5
Assigned IP Address
The reader is now accessible using the wireless IP shown in the IP Address field (157.235.207.24 in this case).
The WiFi interface supports dynamic addressing mechanisms for both IPV4 and IPv6. There is no provision to
set a static IP address.
For wireless IP address details, select Communication > Wi-Fi tab.

The reader can also be accessed via Wi-Fi using an IPV6 address if supported by the network to which the API
is connected.

Connecting Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Dongles F - 5
Connecting to a Peer Device over Bluetooth Using a Bluetooth Dongle
To connect to a peer device over Bluetooth using a USB Bluetooth dongle on the FX7500:
1. Plug the supported Bluetooth dongle into the USB host port on the FX7500. The following Bluetooth
dongles are supported on the FX7500:
•Asus Mini Bluetooth Dongle USB-BT211.
•MediaLink Bluetooth Dongle MUA-BA3.
Figure F-8
USB Host Port Location for Dongle
2. To confirm that the Bluetooth dongle is detected properly, log in to the reader Administrator Console. On
the Home page ensure the USB Port Status displays Device Connected. Hover the mouse pointer over this
link to display the Bluetooth dongle information.

4. Change the Discoverable and Pairable properties to On.
Figure F-10
Changing Discoverable and Pairable Properties
5. Optionally select Use Passkey and enter a passkey to validate the Bluetooth connection. The default
passkey for the FX7500 is 0000.
6. Discover the reader from a Bluetooth-enabled device (such as a laptop). Use the host name to identify the
reader among the discovered devices (e.g., FX7500060C17).
7. After a successful connection, right-click the reader icon (e.g., FX7500060C17) in the list of Bluetooth
devices and select Connect using > Ad hoc network. This establishes the network connection for later.
Figure F-11

8. The IP address assigned to the Bluetooth interface is 192.168.XX.XX. The last 2 octets are the last 2
octets of the Bluetooth MAC address (found in the Properties window on the PC once the Bluetooth
connection is established). Also find this in the Communication > Bluetooth page. Both IPV4 and IPV6
based IP address are supported for adhoc Bluetooth connection between the reader and the client.
Figure F-12

9. Open the web page or sample application to connect to the Bluetooth IP (192.168.67.21 in Figure F-12)
and read tags.
