Update Controller Firmware
This option provides the means for the user to update the controller firmware.
The controllers have the ability to automatically update their partner’s firmware, however the
update process behaves differently under certain conditions. If one controller has a later version of
firmware than its partner controller, during the startup process the later version firmware controller
will automatically update the firmware on the lower version controller to match the other controller
firmware. If a partner controller fails in a Duplex (dual controller) configuration, when the failed
controller is replaced, regardless of its firmware version it will always be updated to match the
surviving controllers firmware.
If you want to downgrade the firmware version you must shut down one controller and flash the
operating controller. Then shut down the controller which was downgraded, bring the second controller
up and flash its firmware to the lower version. Then start both controllers and resume operations.
1. Click the Controller icon located just above the Tool Bar, the Controller Information window will
open.
