4.1.3.1. Web Browser Update Process (continued)
3.
After the controller has downloaded the file the browser will display the
successful upload page showing the size, hardware and version. This is
just a confirmation that the file downloaded has been saved into storage
and is compatible with the controller; the software still needs to be installed.
IMPORTANT: If the file was damaged, incompatible or the transfer interrupted
you will see an error below the ‘Firmware uploaded successfully’ in green. You
will need to repeat steps 1-3.
4.
After a successful download, click ‘Install’ to install the newly downloaded
file into the controller’s operating memory.
The controller will become unresponsive at this point and you may see a connection error in your browser. DO NOT UNPLUg THE
CONTROLLER. It can take up to two minutes to install the new software, restart, and come back into operation mode. If the controller is
being upgraded from a very old version of software, it is likely it will return to Ad-Hoc mode and need to be set up again on the network (if
using Infrastructure Mode).
5.
After the controller has restarted and is operating once again, check the settings to ensure they are adjusted as necessary.
