22.2.3 Updating several 'Stations' simultaneously
You can update the firmware of max. eight networked 'Stations' simultaneously.
The 'Stations' and the CPU cards must be connected to one another via C-
WEB/LAN.
Example: Several 'Stations' are connected to each other via one or several
'Ethernet switch (MM) FN2008-A1'.
You will find additional information about the individual steps on the specified
pages.
w You are familiar with the information in chapter 'Preparation and security
[➙ 113]'.
w A GAP with DHCP must be configured for the connection with the PC via C-
WEB/LAN.
w The 'Stations' are displayed together.
w You can update not more than eight 'Stations' simultaneously.
1. Import the new firmware into Cerberus-Engineering-Tool.
