DEC4 Firmware Updates
From time to time Tempest may introduce new DEC4 firmware for feature enhancements and bug fixes. Please note that the
main System Control Board (SCB) and the various optional daughter boards each have their own firmware, and it will be good
practice to update all firmware in an enclosure for optimal performance and interoperability.
•
System Control Board firmware may be updated DIRECTLY using JESE JUST software and a USB cable, or INDIRECTLY,
over an RDM network, using JESE GetSet software and a JESE RDM-TRI interface.
•
Fan board firmware is extremely simple and is unlikely to require updating.
•
RS485 Board (51.485) firmware may be updated over an RDM network, using JESE GetSet software and a JESE RDM-TRI
interface.
