Downgrading Using ROXflash

ROXflash is used to flash any previous version of a RUGGEDCOM ROX II software image to the inactive
partition. To obtain a RUGGEDCOM ROX II software image, contact Siemens Customer Support.
After a successful software downgrade and reboot, the downgraded partition is activated.
IMPORTANT!
Use ROXflash only to install earlier versions of the RUGGEDCOM ROX II software. Newer software
versions should be installed using the software upgrade functions. For more information about
upgrading the RUGGEDCOM ROX II software, refer to
ROX II Software".
IMPORTANT!
When a USB Mass Storage drive is used, do not remove the drive during the file transfer.
NOTE
If a major system failure is detected upon rebooting with the newly downgraded partition, the device
will automatically roll back to the previously active partition.
To flash the inactive partition with an earlier version of the RUGGEDCOM ROX II software, do the following:
1. If the source of the software is a USB Mass Storage drive, insert the drive in the USB port on the device. For
more information, refer to the RUGGEDCOM RX1500/RX1501/RX1510/RX1511/RX1512 Installation Guide.
2. Make sure the CLI is in Configuration mode.
3. Launch the ROXflash wizard by typing:
wizard rox_flash
The wizard will require user input to complete the upgrade. Follow the online instructions.
When the downgrade process begins, the wizard displays the status of the downgrade. For example:
ruggedcom(config)# wizard rox_flash
This wizard will flash a ROXII image to the inactive partition. On your next boot, that partition
will become active and you will boot into the flashed ROXII version. Your configurations will not
be transferred.
Do you wish to continue?(y/n): y
Enter the url of the ROXII image. The following protocols are supported: http, https, ftp, usb and
sd.
The url should take the form of protocol://user:password@host/path-to-file.
If the server does not require authentication, you may leave out 'user:password@'.
Enter url: scp://root:admin@rceng03/debianppc/rr2/image/imagerr2.tar.bz2
