PCAN-Ethernet Gateway FD DR – User Manual
24
In case of an update, the new software is installed on the inactive
partition. The inactive partition is activated and the device is
rebooted.
If problems occur afterwards or the active partition does not work
for other reasons, the partition can be swapped with the reset
button.
Do the following to swap the active partition:
1. Press the Reset button and keep it pressed.
2. Release the Reset button during phase B (4.5 to 7.5 s - all
LEDs are off).
The active partition is swapped. The device reboots.
Note: If the boot process cannot be executed completely 10
times in a row or is interrupted by voltage loss, the PCAN-
Ethernet Gateway FD DR automatically activates the other
partition.
Phase C: Restoring with the Restore Partition
If both partitions are not working, the device is no longer accessible.
In this case the Restore partition can be started. This partition is not
affected by a software update and is therefore permanently
available.
Do the following to change to the Restore partition:
1. Press the Reset button and keep it pressed.
2. Release the Reset button during phase C (after 7.5 s - all
LEDs are on again).
The device reboots with the Restore partition.
