The keypanel now allows download of new bootloader firmware.
NOTE: If the keypanel is powered off or loses power, the state of the Allow Download option resets to not enabled.
You must reconfigure the option for it to allow new bootloader firmware to be downloaded.
Download Firmware Using the Bootloader
The Bootloader is used to upload a new bootloader image or to upgrade the keypanel firmware if it is corrupt or fails and
makes downloading of new firmware impossible.
If the keypanel firmware is corrupt, the panel may boot automatically into the bootloader. However, if the keypanel firmware
appears valid, but fails to run properly, you may need to force the keypanel into the bootloader in order to download the new
firmware.
NOTE: The instructions provided below are shown using the KP-5032 family keypanels.
Run the Bootloader
To run the bootloader , do the following:
1.
Power off the keypanel.
2.
Verify the KP-5032/4016 is powered off , but still connected to the FRAME.
