Determining the
Firmware Version in
Your Relay
To find the firmware revision number in your relay, view the status report
using the serial port STATUS command. The status report displays the Firm-
ware Identification (FID) label:
FID=SEL-421-Rxxx-Vx-Zxxxxxx-Dxxxxxxxx, or
FID=SEL-421-x-Rxxx-Vx-Zxxxxxx-Dxxxxxxxx
You can also view the FID label from the front panel. From the
ROTATING
DISPLAY
front-panel screen, press the {ENT} pushbutton to advance to the MAIN
MENU
screen. Use the {Down Arrow} pushbutton to highlight the RELAY STATUS
option, and press the {ENT} pushbutton. The FID label displays on the screen:
SEL-421-Rxxx-Vx-Zxxxxxx-Dxxxxxxxx, or
SEL-421-x-Rxxx-Vx-Zxxxxxx-Dxxxxxxxx
In the FID label, the firmware revision number follows the R and the release
date follows the D.
For example,
FID=SEL-421-R115-V0-Z006005-D20051107
is firmware revision number 115, release date November 7, 2005.
Table A.1 lists the firmware versions, a description of modifications, and the
