Firmware Upgrade - GE Multilin F650 Instruction Manual

8.1 INTRODUCTION
NOTE
RELAYS WITH FIBER OPTIC ETHERNET
The update of the boot program (BOOTCODE) will be performed, obligatorily, by crossed copper cable connected to the
PC. It is not necessary to change the internal switch from fiber to RJ45, because the upgrade it is made at 10Mb/s and
for that reason there is not conflict between copper/fiber optic.
This does not apply to the firmware upgrade, which can be done either via Ethernet Fiber connection, or through the
RJ45 cable connection.
Before proceeding with the update process, the following points should be taken into account:
Type of Ethernet connection:
If the relay is connected through a hub or to a switch, a direct 10/100 Base TX Ethernet cable should be used, or with its
fiber optic if the relay is of 100FX Ethernet. Otherwise, a direct connection from the PC to the relay (back-to-back) requires
a crossover 10/100 Base T cable.
It is highly recommended to use a crossover cable to do the update process and do a direct connection from the PC to the
relay instead of being connected through a hub or switch.
Relay IP address:
It is necessary to assign a valid IP address to the relay in the Ethernet parameters via HMI in the "Product Setup >
Communication > Ethernet > Ethernet 1" menu or via EnerVista F650 Setup in "Setpoint > Product Setup>Communication
Settings > Network (Ethernet) 1" as shown in Table 8–1: .
