Upgrading Firmware

This manual is for use by qualified personnel only
After clicking Upgrade, progress bars for each device will be displayed below
the panel, as well as an overall progress bar. Firmware is upgraded on one
device at a time. No firmware changes are made to a device until the previous
device is fully upgraded.
Upgrade Failures
If the firmware upgrade fails prior to completion, close Conext Configuration Tool
and perform a reset of the system by turning off all AC and DC power to the
devices. Wait one (1) minute before you reapply power.
Restart Conext Configuration Tool, select Enable Broadcasts from the Control
Menu (see page 1–17) and perform the firmware upgrade again.
To allow for the most reliable firmware upgrade, Conext Configuration Tool turns
off most messages that are normally sent out by each device on the network. This
is to reduce network traffic during the upgrade process. At the end of an upgrade
sequence, Conext Configuration Tool automatically turns the messages back on
for each device. If Conext Configuration Tool experiences an abnormal exit (for
example, loss of power or program lock up), then the messages may not be
turned back on. If this occurs, using the Enable Broadcasts menu item will
manually turn on the broadcasts.
