8.2 - Performing a Recovery Firmware Update
On the rare occasion that the controller encounters an error with its firmware, a
recovery firmware update can be performed. This may be necessary if the firmware
update process in
fails.
1. Power down the controller and hold down the "System" button.
2. Apply power. The status and power LEDs should be flashing alternately to
indicate the controller is in bootloader mode. It is now ready for a firmware
update.
The controller will default to an IP address of 192.168.0.50 in this mode, so you
must ensure your PC performing the recovery is on a network in the same
address range as this IP address (e.g. 192.168.0.10).
3. Using the Advatek Assistant, click search in the main window and you should
see the controller appear with “Bootloader” in the firmware column. Double
clicking on it will bring up the file browse window as shown in
above.
4. Click browse to locate the firmware file.
5. Click on the update button. The update will only take about 5 seconds, and a
message box will pop up once the update is completed.
6. The controller should now be operating with the new firmware.
