Scope

This document covers firmware updates to the Telos Alliance xNode2.  xNode2 is characterized by a colored display on the front of the unit and a drastically redesigned webpage that uses a “dark” theme.  Make sure you apply updates to the correct units.

Firmware for an xNode2 is not compatible with an original xNode

Description

New features and fixes are delivered by an.epkg (encrypted package) file and installed in the inactive software bank of your xNode2. Dual software banks allows you to easily revert to a previously installed version if required.  New firmware is first uploaded to the Inactive bank and then Activated.  Uploading the file does not interrupt audio.

Activating the newly installed update requires bank switching which require a reboot. ALL AUDIO WILL BE LOST FOR APPROXIMATELY 45 SECONDS

Downloading and Installing the update

  1. Click here to download the version 1.0.2 update file and save it to a location on your computer.

  3. Login with your user name and password (the default is “user” and no password)

    Since the username “user” can not be changed, is it removed in future versions and will only have the password field.
