Downloading Firmware Updates
You can use the ICU to quickly download firmware updates to one or more
controllers. Before starting the download process, copy the new firmware file
to a local or network directory that you can access from the computer on
which you are running the ICU.
Before starting the firmware download, note the following issues:
„
If the public IP address for the PC on which you are running the ICU is
different than the IP address assigned to the PC’s NIC card, you have to
specify the public IP address of the PC on the ICU Options dialog box.
See “Setting the Public IP Address for Firmware Downloads” on
page 5-15 for more information.
„
If the default port (2222) that is used for firmware downloads is in use by
another application on the PC, you have to specify another port to use for
firmware downloads. See “Setting the TCP/IP Port for Firmware
Downloads” on page 5-15 for more information.

Download Firmware from the pop-up menu, as shown in Figure 5.13 on
page 5-35 .
