The firmware belonging to the amplifiers installed in the device is only updated if there was a
firmware change along with the respective imc DEVICES / imc STUDIO software version.
2.8.1 Enable / Disable
It is possible to prevent an unintentional firmware update. For this purpose, the "Password for FW-
update" control is provided in the
Properties
dialog under the
Devices
menu.
No default password is supplied in the manufacturing. When a firmware update is started, the system
checks whether firmware updating is enabled in the device configuration; otherwise the firmware
update is canceled with an error message.
Blocking / Unblocking of the firmware update
Blocking
The firmware update is blocked with a freely defined password.
Unblocking
To unblock, you must enter the password which was used to install the blockage. It is only removed
if the password is identical with the password saved in the device.
Note
As the password is entered, a hex code appears. This indicates that the entry is a password. The value
has no meaning for the user.
Resetting of the password can also be accomplished by a "General password". This general password
is derived from the device's serial number and can be provided by imc if necessary.
