Planning for the Firmware Upgrade
Note The Secondary panels must be upgrade first in any order and then upgrade
the Primary panel last.
The Secondary panel Firmware upgrade through panel web page is not
recommended. Refer the below two sections to upgrade the Secondary
panels.
For primary panel, plan 30 minutes (approximately) to upgrade for the OS + Application
Note If a Secondary panel doesn’t come on line with the primary perform a manual
“Reboot” of the Secondary panel.
Ethernet Virtual Loop (EVL):
Step # 1. “Unregister” the Secondary panels
Step # 2. Perform a Factory Reset, to make the Secondary panel as Primary.
Step # 3. Upgrade the firmware
Step # 4. Configure the panels back to Secondary and manually “Reboot”
Step # 5. "Re-register" Secondary panels manually in the Primary panel
Remember to return their configuration back to a downstream panel once the upgrade has
been successfully completed.
The firmware and Operating System (OS) can be downloaded from the Honeywell
Download Center at the following site: https://mywebtech.honeywell.com/.
