1. Introduction
This guide provides instructions on how to manually upgrade the rmware on an iServer 2 device.
To perform an automatic rmware upgrade, factory reset the iServer 2 and connect the iServer 2 to the Internet.
2. Downloading the Latest Firmware
The instructions below will outline the steps necessary to download the latest rmware les for the iServer 2. The
user should note that there are two download les that will appear when an update is available for the iServer 2.
Step 1: Ensure the iServer 2 has been setup, operational, and that the user has access to a PC or laptop with a
web browser.
Step 2: Navigate to the iServer 2 webserver login user interface by entering one of the following URLs into a web
browser search bar:
http://is2-omegaXXXX.local
(the XXXX should be replaced by the last 4 digits of the iServer 2 device MAC address; located on the
underside label of the device)
or
Enter the IP address assigned to the iServer 2 by the local-area network it is connected to.
(Example: http://XXX.XXX.X.XXX the X should be replaced by the numerical values that make up the IP
address of the connected iServer 2 device)
Step 3: Log in to the iServer 2 webserver.

5Downloading the Latest Firmware
Step 4: From the iServer 2 webserver interface, click the System tab on the upper right of the screen. A System
Conguration pop-up window will appear.
Step 5: Click the Download Firmware button. Note that two download links will appear.
Important: iServer 2 devices require two rmware les to complete the rmware upgrade process: a .bin and .hex
le. Both download URLs should appear when the user clicks the Download Firmware button.
iServer 2 devices that are using an older rmware version may only have one download link appear at a time. In
case only one rmware link appears, proceed to download and install the le according to the steps outlined in
the rest of this section and the following section, then clear the web browser cache being used, and nally repeat
the process starting from Step 5 of this section, until the iServer 2 rmware is up-to-date.
