If possible, you should use the interface with the highest bandwidth for this connection, such
as Ethernet. Updating the operating system via a serial connection can take up to an hour.
NOTICE
Updating the operating system deletes all data on the HMI device
When you update the operating system you delete data on the target system. For this
reason, it is advisable to back up the following data:
• User administration
• Recipes
Resetting to factory settings also deletes the License Keys. You should also back up the
License Keys before resetting to factory settings.
