Upgrading the IONPS-D-R1
You can upgrade IONPS-D-R1 to a specific (newer) firmware revision via the IONMM. The upgrades do not
require the reconfiguration of the SNMP management or device feature settings.
Note that there are some cases which cause upgrade failure:
Communication between the IONPS-D-R1 and IONMM is corrupted, causing an upgrade protocol timeout.
There is no valid IONPS-D-R1 firmware file stored in the IONMM, such as no specific revision IONPS-D-R1
firmware, or a corrupted firmware file.
An internal FLASH failure occurred.
If the IONPS-D-R1 bootloader cannot detect a valid firmware installed after the device is powered up or
rebooted, it will enter upgrade mode automatically to request a valid firmware from the IONMM; When the
IONPS-D-R1 finishes upgrading successfully, it will reboot itself and let the bootloader check the firmware again.
If a valid firmware file is found, the IONPS-D-R1 will load the firmware and enter normal operation mode;
otherwise the IONPS-D-R1 will continue entering the upgrade mode.
There are three ways to upgrade the firmware revision via the IONMM:
Via the ION Web interface: see the
ION Management Module (IONMM) User Guide
for procedures.
Via Focal Point: see the
Focal Point User Guide
for procedures.
Via CLI command: see the
ION Management Module (IONMM) User Guide
for procedures.
IONDCR-R1 Dry Contact Relay Module
The IONDCR-R1 is a field installable dry contact relay module
for the IONPS-D power supply. This optional module mounts in
the lower right-hand corner of the IONPS-D face-plate, allowing
the power supply to be tied into a separate alarm circuit.
Contacts will be activated on the loss of power, enabling an
external visual or audible alarm.
Applications for this type of fault alarm output would include
enterprise networks as well as in industrial applications. The
dry contact relay modules provides another layer of fault
indicators, complementing network management software by
providing a signal to either a local or remote alarm system. The IONDCR-R1 has 3 contacts:
1.
NO
(Normally Open): The connection between this and Common is Open when the relay is relaxed, and
Closed when the relay is energized.
2.
C
(Common): shared connection with Normally Open or Normally Closed.
3.
NC
(Normally Closed): The connection between this and Common are Closed when the relay is relaxed, and
Open when the relay is energized.
The relay's relaxed position indicates normal operation, while the energized position indicates alarm. For more
information see the IONDCR and IONDCR-R1 Install Procedure, 33422_B .
