also update the software using the Factory Manager.
Firmware update When you click on "Update", the following window appears, which contains information
about the firmware used.
Please make sure that the "TFTP Server" service program is activated in the toolbar.
Following a firmware update, a reset is executed automatically to activate the new
firmware.
Firmware update can take several minutes. You can monitor the download in the
message window (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%). Always wait until all the LEDs light up after
approximately two minutes and the device is available again after booting.
It is not ensured that all existing configuration data will be retained after a firmware
update/downgrade. Therefore, please check the configuration settings or return the
device to the settings default upon delivery.
A voltage failure during a firmware update results in the destruction of the firmware on
the LMS. An update via XMODEM is required, see "Starting With Faulty Software" on
page 3-56.
