with the new firmware running.
If you know that remote communication needs to be made through ZigBee after
rebooting, change the Master Connection Type to Mesh after the download.
If the Mio R-4's connection icon does not turn green within 10-15 seconds of enabling
the virtual NetLinx master ("Refresh System" in NetLinx Studio, "Connect..." in
TPDesign4), unplug the device for at least 5 seconds and then reconnect it.
If you are using the Mio R-4 in conjunction with other ZigBee-enabled devices, such
as the Mio R-3 and the NXA-ZGW wireless gateway, you should update the ZigBee
firmware to all of the ZigBee devices at the same time.
