Hi,

I have to upgrade my firmware to 6.

but if i upgrade the firmware i don't have the .bin file of the vocabulary that is currently installed and the central.
How can i upgrade the firmware to 6.0 (currently is 5.206 II SPC) withou loosing the vocabulary and have to change all the program again?

Thanks

Upgrading firmware should not affect the vocabulary, firmware upgrade and vocabulary upgrade are separate operations which have nothing to do wth each other

When you remove the programming cable and reset Comfort, is it still working?

What is the firmware on your UCM/Ethernet? This is found by doing Transfer > System Information

Is your UCM a UCM/ETH01 with orange ethernet module or is it UCM/ETH02 with silver like shown below?

The beeping noise that you described is the normal behaviour when you connect the programming cable This is normal because the Comfort is in firmware upgrading mode and nothing else will work

Did you go ahead with the Firmware upgrade or did you stop there?

You should continue with the firmware upgrade as described in http://www.comfortforums.com/forum4/1216.html

SRN terminal block is the siren connector. During upgrade the siren may be turned on so you can remove it
Just to clarify that the PP2 should be connected on the Comfort not the UCM

Can you turn on the Monitor I/O before trying again to do the upgrade
then save the monitor I/O and send to us

After that i turn off the central and connected the programming cable and shunted PP2, turn on the central and forced the firmware upgrade file ULT6_011.cbf and got this screens





Before send the file for the central with the cable connected i did system information only and got that cannot connect to the UCM



Resuming.. because it was giving me that error connecting to UCM i did not proceed with the firmware upgrade , but now i proceed with the upgrade the messages are different.. product number...

Many thanks

The problem is that your system is SPC firmware but you are trying to upgrade to ULT This is not allowed hence the message Product Type Does not Match
Firmware camn only be upgraded to the same type

Try upgrading to SPC 6.011 attached

Your UCM will also need to be upgraded to the latest

Ok, later when i arrive home i'll try this firmware that you post.

regarding the UCM upgrade , are you refering to the Ethernet UCM right?

if yes for wich firmware should i have to upgrade to?

and i will be able to upgrade the Ehernet UCM firmware with the boards that i have? or do i have to have a USB board to upgrade the Ethernet board?

Many thanks for your help so far! :) hope i will have Iphone working ;);)

Your UCM firmware is alreadu 6.002 so that should work with iPhone app see http://www.comfortforums.com/forum96/2327.html

I would try it before uograding the UCM firmware
UCM 6.002 firmware canbe upgraded by direct connection to PC without needing another UCM and not needing a programming cable see http://www.comfortforums.com/forum4/2283.html

Hello,

I have exactly the same versions, but I have a LEM board on top of the Confort.
Can I just unplug this board (including flat cable) to do the connections, and the upgrade ?
