Firmware Tool

3.1 Overview

Use the Firmware Upgrade Tool to ensure you have the latest firmware (version 4.0.1 or later) on your PLA-407(s).

You need to upgrade all your PLA-407s to the latest firmware to ensure they can connect with each other and they are compatible with the latest version Utility.

If your firmware is an early version (earlier than 4.0.1), then upgrade your firmware using the Firmware Upgrade Tool.

3.2 Firmware Upgrade Tool

Use the firmware upgrade tool to upgrade your PLA-407’s firmware to the latest version.

You can use this tool to upgrade the firmware on the Powerline device directly connected to your computer. This is necessary as devices with ZyXEL’s early version firmware are not compatible with the latest Utility or with devices running ZyXEL’s latest version firmware.

At the time of writing, firmware version 4.0.1 is only available to PLA-407. This firmware version is compatible with version 3.3.4. Firmware version 3.3.4 is available to PLA-401 v3, PLA-402 v3 and PLA-407.

Note: The firmware is included in the Tool. You do not need to download the firmware separately.
