¶ 💾 Update Files Index
The Update Files Index screen centralizes all firmware files that were uploaded to the ACS (Auto Configuration Server).
These files are used for remote updates of devices linked in the system.
¶ 🧭 Overview
On this screen, all update files available in the ACS are listed, including:
- File name
- Size
- File type
- Upload date
If no files have been registered yet, the table will remain empty (as shown in the image above).
¶ ➕ New Update File
The + New Update File button allows uploading a new firmware or configuration file to the ACS.
When clicked, the system opens the Create Update File form, where the following information must be provided:
¶ 🧾 Form Fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| File name |
File identification name in the ACS.
It is recommended to use standardized naming (e.g.: EG8145V5_V5R019C10S130.bin).
|
| File data |
Field to select the physical file (.bin, .cfg, etc.) that will be uploaded to the server.
|
| File type | Defines the file type according to its purpose in the ACS update process. |
| OUI | Manufacturer unique identifier (Organizationally Unique Identifier), used to link the file to a specific brand. |
| Product class |
Product class or model for which the file is intended
(e.g.: EG8145V5, F6600, ZNID-GPON, etc.).
|
¶ ⚙️ File Types
The File Type field defines the purpose of the file stored in the ACS and applied to devices during the update process.
| Code | File Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1️⃣ | Firmware Upgrade Image |
Main **firmware** file used to update the internal software of ONU/ONT devices.
This is the most common type, usually in .bin or .img format.
During the update, the ACS transfers this file to the device and executes the upgrade.
|
| 2️⃣ | Web Content | Contains the **web interface** files of the device (browser-based administration panel). Used by manufacturers that separate firmware from the graphical interface. Updates HTML, CSS, and GUI scripts. |
| 3️⃣ | Vendor Configuration File | **Default vendor configuration** file containing parameters such as VLANs, SSID, PPPoE, and passwords. Used to provision devices with a unified base configuration. |
| 4️⃣ | Tone File | **Dial tone / line sound** file used in equipment with FXS (VoIP) ports. Defines dial tone, busy tone, and ringback tone according to regional standards. |
| 5️⃣ | Ringer File | **Ringtone** file for analog phones connected to the ONU. Allows customizing or replacing default ring tones. |
¶ 💡 Best Practices
- Always confirm the file is compatible with the device model and manufacturer before uploading.
- Name files with version and date to simplify traceability.
- Avoid uploading duplicate files — reuse the same name to overwrite older versions when applicable.
- After upload, the file will be available in the index and can be used in update routines.
¶ ⚙️ Upload Process
- Click + New Update File.
- Fill in all required fields.
- Select the correct file and confirm upload.
- Once registered, the file will appear in the main index list.
¶ 📘 Purpose
This feature allows ACS administrators to manage all firmware images and configuration files easily, keeping the environment centralized and secure.
🔐 Only users with ACS administration permissions can upload or delete these files.
