Appendix D: Upgrading Your Firmware

The ISY’s Administrative Console checks for latest release firmware automatically.

When a new release is detected, you will be notified and given on-screen instructions

on performing the update.

In some cases, however, you may want to manually download and install a newer

firmware. Some beta firmware releases may contain important features or device

support that you may want to utilize. The Administrative Console will NOT notify you of

beta firmware releases.

To manually download and install a firmware release, please see the following forum

where both final and beta releases are regularly posted along with specific upgrade

instructions:

In general, please note the following before performing a firmware update:

 The downloaded firmware MUST remain zipped. DO NOT unzip the

downloaded file.

 Please ensure you have a good backup before attempting a firmware update.

 Disable all anti-virus and firewall software before attempting a firmware update.

 Be sure to run firmware updates from a stable and, if possible, hardwired

network connection. Avoid running firmware upgrades from marginal wifi

connections or off-site locations if possible.

 Once downloaded, click the HELP pull-down menu, then MANUALLY

UPGRADE MY LIGHTING, and browse to the firmware file you have

downloaded.

 After upgrading your firmware, please close all browser windows and clear your

Java cache as outlined in this article:
