This is how FirmSafe works
FirmSafe makes the installation of the new software safe: The used firmware
is not simply overwritten but saved additionally in the device as a second
firmware.
Of the two firmware versions saved in the device only one can ever be active.
When loading a new firmware version the active firmware version is not
overwritten. You can decide which firmware version you want to activate
after the upload:
'Immediate': The first option loads the new firmware and activates it
immediately. This can result in the following situations:
The new firmware is loaded successfully and works as desired. Then
all is well.
The device no longer responds after loading the new firmware. If an
error occurs during the upload, the device automatically reactivates
the previous firmware version and reboots the device.
'Login': To avoid problems with faulty uploads there is the second option
with which the firmware is uploaded and also immediately booted.
In contrast to the first option, the device will wait for five minutes
until it has successfully logged on. Only if this login attempt is suc-
cessful does the new firmware remain active permanently.
If the device no longer responds and it is therefore impossible to log
in, it automatically loads the previous firmware version and reboots
the device with it.
'Manual': With the third option you can define a time period during which
you want to test the new firmware yourself. The device will start with
the new firmware and wait for the preset period until the loaded firm-
ware is manually activated and therefore becomes permanently effec-
tive.

given to the installation of software), all of which produce the same result:
