We always recommend that you perform a system backup before you update the controller firmware. If you experience issues with the firmware update, you can restore your controller to the previous configuration.
Note
The following procedure assumes that your computer is running Microsoft Windows.
Copy the Firmware Update from the Baseline Website onto a USB Drive
TIP
It is best to have an empty USB drive for each firmware update that you need to apply. Label each USB drive with the firmware version number, and then copy the specific file(s) to the appropriate drive. Apply the updates in the proper order. If you do not have multiple USB drives for multiple updates, you can use a single USB, but we recommend that you have only one firmware update on the USB drive at a time.
1. Visit the article: Firmware Version Reference and Download
2. Go to the BaseStation 3200 table and review the "Read me first" section.
3. Find the V17 Firmware Update, and then click the "download" to download the firmware.
4. When prompted, choose the Save File option and then click OK. The file is automatically saved into the web browser’s Download directory.
