FireBrick FB6000 series Software

As a matter of policy, FireBrick software upgrades are free to download for all FireBrick customers.

You are currently viewing the most recent alpha, beta and factory software releases for the FireBrick FB6000 series.

NOTE: Alpha software may not have been tested and should never be used in a production / critical application. Not all hardware supports installation of alpha releases.

NOTE: Beta software has undergone some testing but should not normally be used in a production / critical application.

Installation Instructions

To install new software you need to load the main product image file. You may also wish to update the bootloader; this is normally unnecessary unless indicated by the release notes. The XSD file corresponding to the software may also be downloaded; this does not need to be installed on the FireBrick, but is useful as a definitive reference for the XML configuration.

Log in to your FireBrick administration pages, select Upload, browse to the main or bootloader image, and click Send new code. The software will be saved to flash, which will take a few seconds, and will become operational the next time the FireBrick is rebooted. You can force an immediate reboot by ticking the checkbox before clicking Send New Code.
