IMPORTANT!
After downgrading the firmware and FPGA files, note the following:
• Some settings from the previous configuration may be lost or reverted back to the factory
defaults (including user’s passwords if downgrading from a security related version), as those
particular tables or fields may not exist in the older firmware version. Because of this, the unit
must be configured after the downgrade.
• A standard banner will appear on the login screen instead of a custom banner.
