9.5. Keeping the configuration settings after firmware upgrade
User can keep all configuration settings and restore to the device after firmware upgrading
or can choose to perform a factory reset – it means all settings will be erased in the device.
For the detailed information about saved data refer to section 10.3 on page 114.
The following flow chart demonstrates how this function works in the background.
The details about the procedure: when firmware upgrade starts, the first step is making a
backup of the settings of the device. The firmware package checks the backup data and if
it is needed, a conversion is applied to avoid incompatibility problems between the firmware
versions. If you do not want to keep configuration settings, you can set the Factory reset
option enabled.
The instruction in the firmware package of the device will inform you about this function
availability, reading it is highly recommended in every case.
ATTENTION!
In specific cases restoring cannot be applied fully and certain settings are not copied back
to the device. If a warning message appears, user can get back the original data from the
backup. Logs of the upgrade procedure contain all backup data, it can be exported at the
end of the upgrade procedure. Details about the procedure of log exporting can be found
in section 9.4.2 on page 105.
In case of any question, please contact support@lightware.eu.
ATTENTION!
In certain cases, the new firmware version requires setting all parameters to set factory
defaults. In this case, the “Factory reset” option is enabled by default and not changeable
by the user, see details in section 9.4.2 on page 105.
ATTENTION!
The feature is supported from firmware version 1.1.1 together with LDU version 1.3.0.
