The Adapter module contains two sets of firmware. The normal firmware is
the operational firmware and allows connections from a Logix Controller. The
Recovery firmware is used to update the firmware in the I/O modules and help
diagnose problems. The normal and Recovery firmware are updated with
separate ControlFLASH files.
Before starting check that:
•
RSLinx® Gateway has been installed and configured
•
The BOOTP server has been configured with the MAC address and
suitable IP address for the 1715-AENTR
•
The correct ControlFLASH file for the 1715-AENTR module or I/O module
has been installed
•
If updating 1715 I/O module firmware, ensure that the 1715-AENTR
Recovery mode firmware from 1715 revision 3.001 or later is installed and
running (Recovery mode firmware revision 1.011 or later)
Dual 1715-AENTR modules are updated at the same time.
Each I/O module is updated separately, even if it is fitted to a dual termination
assembly.
