Firmware and Manual Versions
Firmware
The optional Ethernet card (SEL-2701 or SEL-2702) must be paired with a
compatible SEL-421 or SEL-421 version. You may need to upgrade your
SEL-421
firmware to access features in new versions of the Ethernet cards.
Table A.1 includes notes on SEL-421 modifications that support new features
of the Ethernet cards.
To find the firmware revision number in your Ethernet card, first connect to
the SEL-421 with the ACC command. View the FIDs with the VERSION
command. Look for the Ethernet card Firmware Identification (FID) label in
the response under Communications Card:
FID=SEL-270x-Rxxx-Vx-Zxxxxxx-Dxxxxxxxx
In the FID label, the 4 digits after “SEL” indicate which Ethernet card is
installed. The firmware revision number follows the R and the release date fol-
lows the D.
For example,
SEL-2701-R108-V0-Z002001-D20051205
is for an SEL-2701 Ethernet card, firmware revision number 108, release date
December 5, 2005.
Table A.3 lists current Ethernet card firmware versions with compatible
SEL-421 versions.
Newer SEL-2702 card firmware (R106 and higher) uses a different software
library from lower versions and is unable to process version 001 CID files.
ACSELERATOR Architect generates CID files from ICD files so the ICD file
SEL-2702-R104-V0-Z001001-D20070717
