Flashing the Controller Firmware
On occasion, the F4T firmware may be updated. When flashing the firmware ensure that
power to the controller is not disrupted and allow the process to proceed to completion. Once
the process is complete, the controller will come back up with the same configuration (in its
entirety) prior to flashing.
To flash the controller to the latest firmware version:
1. Copy the file "F4TUpdate" to the root directory of a USB thumb drive.
2. Insert the USB thumb drive into either of the USB ports on the back of the F4T.
