Upgrading DES-3901-S and DNS-3901-S
Firmware
Firmware upgrading is a routine procedure that you must perform to
install newer versions of software on the DES-3901-S and DNS-3901-S
modules. Pilot, Co-Pilot, or Navigator software applications are
required for this procedure. You can use either the Discovery or the
drag-and-drop method. When performing the upgrading procedure,
check the appropriate readme file to confirm which files are needed.
Use care to ensure that you upload the correct files to the intended
module.
If for some reason the upgrade fails, the module may not respond to
controls and will appear to be non-functional. In that event, follow the
procedures described in
“Correcting a Failed Upgrading Procedure” on
page 19 .

method:
