Firmware <Dongle Upgrade>
Additional features can be enabled afterwards via firmware dongle upgrade.
For dongle upgrade a corresponding upgrade file containing the correct
serial number of the dongle is required!
Considerations before dongle upgrade
Which hardware is existing? Have to be ordered additional modules? Is the function of the system
still ensured after the upgrade (change of the bandwidth, transmit power)?
Dongle upgrade on site
The customer orders additional features and advertises the serial number of the dongle. The new
FW-MLFB and the serial number of the dongle is stored as new dongle file in the data base of the
factory. The new dongle file will be send to the customer by email (resp. CD or floppy disc).
The update of the PowerLink on site is carried out with the PowerSys program using this file. The
program has to be started and a connection to the PowerLink must be established.
Start the upgrade with the command <Firmware / Dongle Upgrade>
