Controller
Firmware Update
1. 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 direction 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.
Use a
compatible browser or our
command-line update tool:
-
Chrome
(Preferred)
-
Internet
Explorer
-
Firefox
-
Opera

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.
2. Disconnect
Loads.
Disconnect
any AC loads before proceeding.
Updates may cause changes in outlet states (on, off or cycling)!
Play it safe.
3. Login.
