Nov - 2016 - NEO - Firmware Upgrade v130
From time to time, there are enhancements and feature upgrades to most electronic
components in the security industry. DSC has designed the NEO platform to be flash
upgradable, allowing the platform to migrate into the future. This process allows you to
upgrade the firmware, instead of replacing the hardware.
Firmware upgrades are now available for the NEO panels, selected modules and
communicators.
Currently there are upgrade firmware files available for the following NEO equipment:
*
Panels Modules Communicators
HS2ICONRF TL2803GR
* process not described in this document
HS2TCHP
Tech Note: The IP / Cell Communicators are upgraded via Ethernet / Connect24.
The firmware upgrade process is completed through the Flash Wizard feature built into
the DLS5 software.
