The Firmware Update view is only visible if Trimble 4D Control Server UI is running in Administrator mode. Use this view to upload a new firmware file to a receiver and to install it there.

Selecting the upload file

Starting the firmware update

Viewing the upload status

The view's table shows information about the receiver such as a status identifying icon and the Station Name, Station ID, Station Code and Receiver Type. Address*, User* and Password*refer to the Remote Access properties of the GNSS Receiver module. The Firmware column shows the currently installed firmware version. The Update Status informs about the update progress.

* By default, these values are hidden. To make more values visible, open the view's shortcut menu and select Choose Columns. Then edit the Choose Columns dialog.
