Introduction

AdvanNet is the controller FW running in all the Series 70 and Series 160 readers and derived systems. 

It is possible to use Keonn's AdvanCloud platform to upgrade remote devices running AdvanNet:

• The AdvanNet FW binary can be upgraded

• The AdvanNet Cfg (configuration) files can be upgraded

Requirements

• • Version of AdvanNet Bootloader 180102+

  • Version of AdvanNet 2.7.0+

  •  Version of SCloud 4.11.58+

  • Vesion of AdvanCloud 8630+

AdvanCloud upgrade feature

AdvanCloud platform uses the concept of platform to upgrade different devices. For AdvanNet, the platforms in use are:

• advannet: used to upgrade AdvanNet FW binaries

• advannetcfg: used to upgrade AdvanNet Cfg files

Upgradeable files will be provided by Keonn, they are regular signed Zip files.

Once zip files are uploaded into AdvanCloud, the upgrade strategy has to be defined. Several strategies exist:

• ifnewer: upgrade file is applied whenever the device is using an older version.

• restricted: advanced strategy that allows to define in detail the device set where to apply the upgrade. The device set can be defined in terms of:

  • Device ID

  • Store

  • App

  • Zone

  • Etc.

Procedure

For AdvanNet Cfg, upgrade files will be built by Keonn. Please consult with you Keonn Service Manager or with support@keonn.com

Define strategy

By default the ifnewer strategy is selected. In case greater control is needed select restricted and define the matching patterns for the target devices. 

After saving, the new binaries will appear on the list
