The different firmware versions
We are constantly working on the improvement of our products and also on the improvement of the
used software / firmware. We always try to ensure downward-compatibility, but this is not always
possible without interfering with the existing system.
All new devices are delivered with an "automatic update", which checks at power on, which firmware is
running on the other side and this is then possibly updated automatically.
