Firmware
The VIP XD is designed in such a way that its functions and parameters can be updated with
firmware. To do this, transfer the current firmware package to the unit via the selected
network. It will then be automatically installed there.
In this way, a VIP XD can be serviced and updated remotely without a technician having to
change the installation on site.
You obtain the current firmware from your customer service or from the download area on our
Internet site.
CAUTION!
Before launching the firmware upload make sure that you have selected the correct upload
file. Uploading the wrong files can result in the unit no longer being addressable, in which
!
case you must replace the unit.
You should never interrupt the installation of firmware. An interruption can lead to the flash-
EPROM being incorrectly programmed. This in turn can result in the unit no longer being
addressable, in which case it will have to be replaced. Even changing to another page or
closing the browser window leads to an interruption.

automatically once the upload has successfully completed.

perform the upload you must now switch to a special page:
