Code Select Field | Default: 0xnnn active |
The unit can hold one or two version of code. Initially, the unit has just one version of code and that code is active and running inside the unit. When the unit receives and stores a second code version via a broadcast code download, the second code version is saved in memory, but is not activated.
When code is pushed out to the unit, it is assigned a planned activation time. This is when the unit will automatically deactivate the original code version, install the newer code version, and reboot the unit with the new version code activated and running.
Use the Code Select field to perform two necessary operations:
•Manually upgrade the unit to a newer code version, prior to the scheduled activation time
•Manually revert the unit to a previous code version that is still resident on the unit
Press the 4button until the cursor is at the Code Select label, and press ENTER to move into the field. Use the buttons to display the various options within this field. The following four bullets describe how to use the Code Select field to perform the necessary operations.
•The Active selection (shown below) is not an executable option. However, it does display the current code version number that is active and running on the unit. The active selection always shows a code version number followed by the word: active.

E No
Code Select 0x333 active
In this example, 0x333 represents the code version number that is currently running on this unit.
Note: Choosing Active and pressing ENTER does not execute any changes on the unit. Choosing this selection and pressing ENTER will only return the cursor to the Code Select label.
•The two selections (five dashes as shown below and the five dashes followed by “available”) are not executable options. If either of these messages appear, it indicates the absence of a second code version on this unit. This means this unit cannot be reverted or upgraded to another code version until a new broadcast code download is received.

Code Select
Note: Choosing | and pressing ENTER (or choosing | available and pressing ENTER) |
does not execute any changes on the unit. Choosing this selection and pressing ENTER will only return the cursor to the Code Select label.
•Available Option - This option is an executable option. If this option is listed in the unit’s menu system, this means the unit has an additional code version resident on the unit, but it is not currently active. The code version will either be a previous code version number or a newer code version.
