Firmware and configuration upload

Firmware update:

The VIP XD is designed in such a way that its functions and parameters can be
updated with firmware. To accomplish this, the current firmware package is
transferred to the unit via the selected network. It is automatically installed there.
Thus a VIP XD can be serviced and updated remotely without requiring a
technician to make changes to the installation on site.
The current firmware can be obtained from your customer service center or from
the Bosch Security Systems download area.
Warning!
Before starting the firmware update, make sure that you have selected the
correct upload file! Uploading the wrong files can result in the unit no
longer being addressable, requiring it to be replaced.
Do not interrupt the firmware installation for any reason! Interruption will
result in incorrect programming of the Flash EPROM. This can result in the
unit no longer being addressable, requiring it to be replaced.
– First, save the update file to the hard disk.
– Enter the full path for the update file in the field or click Browse... to locate
and select the file.
– Click Upload to begin transmission to the unit. The progress bar allows you
to monitor the transfer.
The new firmware is unpacked and the flash EPROM is reprogrammed. The
time remaining is shown by the message going to reset Reconnecting in ...
seconds. After the upload is completed successfully, the unit will restart
automatically.
If the operating status LED lights up red, the upload has failed and must be
repeated. To perform the upload, you must switch to a special page:
