Required Environment
Firmware should be updated only when a local connection is available. Firmware update over LAN/WAN is highly discouraged. Interrupting the update process can damage the FLASH boot loader within the power controller, necessitating mail-in factory service. A direct connection via crossover cable is recommended. Once the update process is started, it must not be interrupted for any reason, or damage to the switch could occur. If you have enabled the PROTECT feature, you will need to physically press the reset-to-defaults switch before updating.Use a compatible browser or our command-line update tool:
The power controller contains both EEPROM and FLASH. EEPROM is used to store outlet states, outlet names, user logins and scripts. In most cases, EEPROM content will be unaffected by an update. If you are updating from a version prior to 1.2.3, a ~30s delay may occur while EEPROM is reformatted. Power to outlets may be cycled!
Some new features such as LCD control, serial ports, scripting require that the appropriate hardware and expanded memory be installed in your unit.
1. Disconnect Loads.
Disconnect any AC loads before proceeding. Updates may cause changes in outlet states (on, off or cycling)!
Play it safe.
2. Login. Check rev. Download.
Log in to the power switch as admin. Your current firmware version is displayed in the lower left hand corner of the outlet control page. Check the revision history here. Need an update? Download 1.5.0 here or use our command-line update tool.3. Start the Update (Browser)
