Upgrading Firmware
You can perform firmware upgrades for your Conext ComBox and Xanbus-
enabled devices when they are available for download. You can download them
from the Schneider Electric Conext ComBox website at http://solar.schneider-
electric.com/product/conext-combox/ to a mass storage device, such as a
thumb drive, or to a computer that you then connect to the Conext ComBox.
Clearing Conext ComBox Internal Firmware Memory
To clear the Conext ComBox internal firmware memory:
1. Turn off the Conext ComBox by shutting it down and disconnecting all its
power sources. Make sure the Power LED is off. Wait ten seconds before the
next step.
Insert a pointed object such as a paper clip into the Reset pinhole and press
the button while turning on the Conext ComBox by reconnecting to its power
source.
2. Continue pressing (holding) the Reset pinhole button until all indicator LEDs
flash quickly five times (approximately 10 seconds). Continue to hold the
button until the LEDs flash slowly (approximately 5 seconds).
When the memory has been cleared, the Status LED is on and Power LED is
blinking and a firmware upgrade must be done.
Note: It is recommended you clear the internal firmware memory of the Conext
ComBox before installing Conext ComBox firmware upgrades.
Note: Clearing internal firmware memory should be done for Conext ComBox
upgrades only. It is not necessary for upgrades to other devices on the network.
