Firmware update
« on: 2012-06-15, 16:16:43 »
Before updating RRC-1258 MKII firmware may I know if:
- I can update from 2.30 directly to latest 2.59?
- I have to update both radio and control RRCs (hardware version 5) before be able to use/ interconnect  them?
- I have to reinstall all my personal parameters again?
Tnx in advance..

- 2.30 to 2.59 is a rather long hop, but the way the update process works it should be ok.
- It's is highly recommended that they both have the same firmware version in order to avoid possible incompatibilities.
- The settings should survive the update process and new settings should get their default values.

But as always when doing something like this it's better being safe than sorry  ;) So start with updating an RRC that you have where you can see it, and make a copy/screen dump/etc of the settings, at least the important ones.

Many tnx Jan for your fast and clear reply...
Do you may suggest to update first to a version in between 2.30 and 2.59 and if so which one is better?

No not really. As I wrote, 2.30 to 2.59 should be ok. I am off for the weekend now so no more fast replies, hehe!

RRC-1258 MKII firmware updated from 2.30 directly to 2.59 successfully and personal settings remain unchanged.
RRCs could communicate OK even with one at 2.30 and the other at 2.59 firmware versions.
Also Webswitch 1216H firmware updated from 1.13 to 2.5 successfulyl and settings remain unchanged.
Tnx for advice Jan...
