ION 7500 / ION 7600 User’s Guide

Upgrading Your ION Device(s)

 

 

Choose the type of device that you want to upgrade. (In this case, it is a meter.)

This area lists all available devices of the specified type. Highlight the device(s) to upgrade.

Save/Restore framework is enabled by default, so custom frameworks are not overwritten during upgrade.

When upgrading multiple devices, specify whether the utility should halt if a certain number of device upgrades fail.

Click this button to browse your system and locate the upgrade file.

In this example, an ION 7300 Ethernet card is the device selected for upgrade.

Select the ION 7300 meter that contains the ION 7300 Ethernet card that will be upgraded.

3.Select the appropriate ION device in the List Devices of Type box. The Device Upgrade utility searches your system and lists all the supported devices in the Select Devices to Upgrade box.

4.Select the device(s) you want to upgrade from the Select Devices to Upgrade list. To make multiple selections, hold down the Ctrl key.

The Save/Restore Framework check box is selected by default so that you do not lose your current framework template during the upgrade, including any custom frameworks you may have configured. Clearing the Save/Restore Framework check box deletes the current framework template for each selected device when the firmware upgrade is complete; there is no framework configuration in the upgraded devices. It is recommended that you leave this check box selected.

If you intend to replace the meter’s framework template with the newest default template after you upgrade the firmware, then you can clear the check box. Remember to download the ION software updates to support the latest

firmware version (these can be found at HTTP://WWW.PWRM.COM/SUPPORT/

DOWNLOADS).

5.If you are upgrading multiple devices, specify in the Failure Handling area how the Device Upgrader utility responds to an unsuccessful upgrade:

Select Halt After and specify the number of devices with failed upgrades that can occur before the utility stops.

By default, the utility is set to stop after the first failed upgrade. If, for example, you increase this number to 5, the Device Upgrade utility will continue upgrading devices until the entire selection has been upgraded, or a total of five devices have failed the upgrade process.

Select Ignore All to attempt to upgrade all of the selected devices regardless of any failures.
