Firmware
The encoder is designed in such a way that its functions and parameters can be updated with
firmware. To do this, transfer the current firmware package to the unit via the selected
network. It will then be automatically installed there.
In this way, a encoder can be serviced and updated remotely without a technician having to
change the installation on site.
You obtain the current firmware from your customer service or from the download area at
www.boschsecurity.com.
1. First store the firmware file on your hard drive.
2. Enter the full path of the firmware file in the field or click Search to locate and select the
file.
3. Next, click Upload to begin transferring the file to the unit. The progress bar allows you to
monitor the transfer.
The new firmware is unpacked and the Flash EPROM is reprogrammed. The time remaining is
shown in the message going to reset Reconnecting in ... seconds. The unit reboots
automatically once the upload has successfully completed.
If the CONNECT LED then flashes red, the upload has failed and must be repeated. To
perform the upload you must now switch to a special page:
1. In the address bar of your browser, enter /main.htm after the IP address of the encoder
(for example 192.168.0.10/main.htm).
2. Repeat the upload.
CAUTION!
Before launching the firmware upload make sure that you have selected the correct upload
file. Uploading the wrong files can result in the unit no longer being addressable, in which
case you must replace the unit.
You should never interrupt the installation of firmware. An interruption can lead to the flash-
EPROM being incorrectly programmed. This in turn can result in the unit no longer being
addressable, in which case it will have to be replaced. Even changing to another page or
closing the browser window leads to an interruption.
