Update Processing Details
Upon receipt of a software update form from a module, the 8900NET
module will contact the FTP Server, requesting the specified path. The
8900NET will send the user name and password to FTP server to gain
access to the file.
Once the file has been successfully FTP’d from the FTP Server, the 8900NET
will begin the module software compatibility check and upgrade process.
The module software compatibility check uses compatibility information
included in the Field Update File to ensure that the new software was
intended for this module. In the event that there is a mismatch, the
8900NET will abort the upgrade.
If compatibility is okay, the download is performed and the subject module
is rebooted.
