the current settings and load the default settings of the new firmware once reprogramming is
finished. This reset can also be forced by the firmware update file. In this case, the checkbox

If the firmware update resets the sensor settings, the wireless channel will also be reset to the
factory settings. After a successful update, if the gateway and the sensor node are on different
wireless channels, the sensor node becomes unreachable. For changing the wireless channel
of an Inertia device, See Section 4.8.1.
Firmware update does not work if the device does not have internal flash memory, if the in-
ternal flash memory is full or when the maximum number of files is reached (510).
