13.2 FW updates for the control panel and devices connected to the BUS.
1.
In the Firmware Update selection window, updatable BUS and bidirectional wireless devices of the control
panel are displayed. N-Link automatically selects devices for which an update is required (they have older
FW than in the FW pack).
2.
N-Link warns when only wireless devices can be updated. To perform an update, connect a USB cable to
a PC with N-Link started. Go to the option "Firmware update" and continue like with BUS devices (see
11.10 Firmware update).
3.
More detailed information about the existing and new version of individual devices is displayed
in the bubble help after moving the mouse cursor over each of the offered devices.
4.
In the selection boxes check the devices for which you want to change FW. If in the offered options there
is the control panel with the offer of a newer FW version, we recommend you to leave it checked. Some
items may be obligatory and thus unavailable (greyed) for update cancellation.
5.
If the control panel update option is enabled, the possibility to keep the modified user voice menu is
displayed. If the possibility to keep the menu is disabled, the default setting of the voice menu will be
restored.
6.
Click on OK to start the update of FW of all the selected devices. All the changes will be executed within
a few minutes (depending on the number of devices). Finally, the control panel will restart the system.
7.
After a change of FW a part of the registration code will change. Its change will not have any impact
on the possibility of remote access (using N-Link) or possible communication of the control panel with the
cloud service.
8.
If during the control panel update N-Link finds damaged files in the SD card, it will format it and after
completion of the update it will offer the possibility of re-importing the original settings.
9.
Perform a check in accordance with the description in chapter Check after a FW change 13.4 Check after
a FW check.
13.3 FW updates for wireless devices using a USB cable.
The most convenient way of FW update for selected wireless devices is over system radio without need of cable
connection. If a wireless upgrade of any device is impossible (e.g. because of current local radio conditions) it
can be updated by the USB cable.
Wireless upgrade using radio module:
1.
Start N-Link, open the database
2.
Open the menu in the N-Link software: Control Panel / Firmware Update
3.
The SW offers a table with enrolled upgradable devices, check if all the required devices are selected
(update of greyed out devices can be mandatory and selected automatically because of compatibility
reasons).
4.
More detailed information about the existing and new versions of individual devices is displayed in the
help bubble after moving the mouse cursor over each of the offered devices.
5.
By pressing the OK button all selected devices will be updated.
6.
After completion of the upgrade perform a check in accordance with the description in chapter 13.4 Check
after a FW check.
Upgrade using an USB cable:
1.
Open the updatable wireless device.
2.
If batteries are included, remove them and if the device is powered by an external adapter, disconnect it
as well.
3.
Start N-Link, open the database and connect a USB cable to the computer (miniUSB or microUSB
depending on the used device).
Warning: USB cables are not included with individual devices. We recommend to use a direct USB
connection to the PC, a connection with a USB HUB may reduce reliability.
4.
The updates of FW of wireless devices must be carried out one at a time, it cannot be done
simultaneously with multiple USB cables.
5.
In the wireless device to be updated open the mode for loading new FW. In the case of other devices
follow the instructions of the respective manuals.
6.
Then continue as during a system upgrade with N-Link software: Control Panel → Firmware Update.
7.
In the table of device selection, select a USB item (typically in the first position).
