The 󹪝rmware is signed and encrypted. This ensures that only 󹪝rmware created by Siemens can
be downloaded to the device.
Procedure with Microsoft Windows
You can download new 󹪝rmware to the device using TFTP. To do this, the device does not need
to be reachable either using Web Based Management (WBM) or using the Command Line
Interface (CLI). This can be the case if there was a power failure during a 󹪝rmware update.
When pressing the button, observe the information in the section "SELECT / SET button
(Page44)".
Follow the steps below to load new 󹪝rmware using TFTP:
1. Turn o󹪜 the power to the device.
2. Press the SELECT/SET button and reconnect the device to the power supply with the button
pressed.
3. Hold down the button until the red fault LED "F" starts to 󹪞ash.
4. Release the button as long as the red error LED is still 󹪞ashing..
This time only lasts a few seconds.
The bootloader of the device waits in this status for a new 󹪝rmware 󹪝le that you can
download by TFTP.
5. Connect a PC to an Ethernet port of the device with an Ethernet cable.
