Any firmware downgrade using "fwupdate.cfg" is NOT supported by default.
Only firmware upgrade is permitted with "fwupdate.cfg". A special
parameter is required to permit firmware downgrade via "fwupdate.cfg".
See
fwupdate.cfg
(on page 734).
Therefore, firmware downgrade via USB is disallowed by default.
You can use one USB drive to configure or upgrade multiple PX3TS devices one
by one as long as it contains valid configuration files.
To use a USB drive to configure the PX3TS or upgrade firmware:
1.
Verify that both the USB drive and your PX3TS meet the requirements. See
System and USB Requirements
2.
Prepare required configuration files. See
3.
Copy required configuration files to the root directory of the USB drive.
▪
For firmware upgrade, an appropriate firmware binary file is also
required.
4.
Plug the USB drive into the USB-A port of the PX3TS.
