Appendix A – Upgrading the Firmware

108

Instruction Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver

Important Upgrade Information

Caution:

Upgrading the firmware is a serious action in that if the upgrade fails, it can leave the

system completely non-operational.

In the Event of Power Loss During an Upgrade

If power loss occurs

before

any firmware information has been transferred – when power is restored, the

module will remain operational using the original firmware.

If power loss occurs

after

some of the firmware information has been transferred

but before

the transfer

is complete – when power is restored, the module will time out and will not operate until a successful
upgrade takes place.

Caution:

If the application signals a failure, you must immediately reboot the Transmitter or

Receiver and attempt to upgrade the firmware again, as the module is in an unknown state and
cannot be guaranteed to be operational.
