Upgrade of the Smartpack2 Master controller’s firmware, while the system is live, is
performed either via the controller’s Ethernet port -- using the “Eltek Network Utility”

Upgrading the firmware does not delete or change any of the configuration and calibration
values stored in the controllers.
You can upgrade the Smartpack2 Master controller’s firmware using one of the following
two methods.
