Forcing firmware update mode using wire jumpers
If for any reason, the firmware update did not execute correctly, you cannot access either the user
interface on the QMX or log in via the terminal, and you need to force the unit to re-enter firmware
update mode – you can do this by connecting a wire jumper from the Aux 2 pin to Ground (see
diagram below) then re-starting QMX (cycle the power supply voltage). QMX will remain in
bootloader mode until you remove the wire link.
