Directive to give netcontrol the upgrade command. The procedure to follow to properly upgrade netcontrol is as follows:

1.Make sure that the file "robox_upgrade.tar.gz" is present in the /WEB/ directory inside the SD CARD of the device

2.Make sure that the netcontrol mode set in the NETWORK.CFG file is "AP MASTER" or "AP SLAVE" (see the example file below)

3.Make sure that the LAN address is set in the NETWORK.CFG file

4.Make sure that in the NETWORK.CFG file the ETH3 port has a valid address and its gateway is at the LAN address

5.Make sure that the WEBSERVER is not disabled(SYS_CFG_2.(2) must be 0)

6.After performing the above steps, using an RDE shell, give the UPGRADE NETCONTROL command after which the NET CTRL led will be green/off if the operation was successful, red otherwise. More information in the report

7.Check in the report that the command has been successfully executed, if the result is successful turn off and on the control again

NOTE: If the version currently loaded on your control is 1.5.0 or lower (check from the shell using the "dv nc_version" command) and the version you want to upgrade to is higher than 1.6.0 the upgrade procedure should be performed twice; the first time the netcontrol will be upgraded to version 1.6.0, the second time to the correct version. In any case, it is not necessary to use the "robox_upgrade.tar.gz" file specific to version 1.6.0 given that all "robox_upgrade.tar.gz" files for versions 1.6.1 or higher already contain all the necessary files.

In addition to the result in the command response, some information is added in the report.
