terminal restarts automatically. These firmware components are affected during
an upgrade:
• FactoryTalk View Machine Edition Station software
• Communication protocols and drivers including Kepware drivers
• Windows fonts
• Windows CE components
• FactoryTalk components
• User extensions
A firmware upgrade does not affect these terminal components or settings:

• Network parameters including the network device name, DHCP-enabled
and static IP addressing, speed, and duplex setting
• Display settings
• Screen saver configuration
