EVC100 with the firmware 01.00.xx.xx reads the firmware file name differently. When updating from firmware version 01.00.xx.xx, add the word "EVC_" in front of the firmware file. This will make the firmware file look like this "EVC_01.xx.xx.xx.DAT". After this update, the EVC system will take the regular firmware file from the firmware page.

I'm unable to update using the web interface tool. When I get into the update page, I do not see the "Browse" and "Submit" buttons.
This issue occurs when a computer tries to access the EVC web interface tool using the WAN IP and both systems are in the same LAN environment. To resolve this issue, the computer will need to enter the EVC's LAN IP in the browser.
