download, the STOP Light will illuminate and a reset will occur. The previous setup will

 Note: An illuminated ERROR Light denotes an unsuccessful download; however, the
original firmware will remain operational. (A reset will occur, if not cycle power

functional; otherwise, Flash memory may be defective (see Section 4.4).
