Updating the Instant Pilot
Updating the Instant Pilot
The Instant Pilot G4208A is updated like any other 1100/1200/1290 modules
with the LAN/RS-232 Firmware Update Tool 2.7 when using firmware
revsions A.06.xx/B.01.xx for the modules and B.01.xx for the Instant Pilot.
If you want to downgrade an Instant Pilot to revision A.05.1x (to be
compatible with modules that have A.05.09/10 or A.05.11/12 firmware
installed), then follow the instructions in “Update Information for A.05.1x
Firmware” on page 104.
Recovering
In case of power fail or LAN/RS-232 cable disconnected during the update for
the Instant Pilot, the firmware may not completely updated (mian or
resident). In this case the display may be dark and the LED is blinking.
In this case the LAN/RS-232 Firmware Update Tool 2.7 shows the Instant Pilot
either in resident mode (-R) or main mode (similar to “Main firmware update
was interrupted” on page 81). Redo the firmware update again for both the
main and resident (for all B.xx versions).
If this happend during the downgrade to A.05.xx, the you just need to redo the
main update. The firmware A.05.1x has no resident part.
If the Instant Pilot is not shown, check whether the modules may be on
different firmware sets (A.05.xx vs. A.06.xx/B.01.xx/B.06.xx). Then use one
module with the Instant Pilot’s target firmware to establish communication.
