Update via remote operation
How to perform an update via remote operation:
In the Programming and Editing mode of the iTNC, press the MOD key.
On the iTNC, activate remote maintenance by pressing the Service ON soft
key.
A service request is triggered and a connection is established.
Transmit the setup.elf and setup.zip files to a suitable directory on the
control (e.g. TNC:\update).
Continue the update via remote operation as described under "Manual
update".
Notes on updating via remote operation
If remote maintenance is active when the update is started, the remote
maintenance is deactivated (this does not affect the current remote
operation).
After the reboot or after the update was canceled due to an error, a service
request is triggered. The service request information indicates whether the
update was successful.
If the control does not boot due to missing or incorrect machine parameters,
a service request is triggered until the "power interrupt" stage of the boot
process is reached.
