Which UCM do you have?
Only UCm with firmware 5.100 and above can be used to upgrade other firmware
If you have older firmware, then you may need another UCM

If you have  the old model UCM01 then you cannot use this to upgrade and it also cannot be upgraded

Your UCM should look like these

Hi,

Thank you for the response.

I have the following UCM (Type 10) ver 6.012. This one is fine, I also have the following to be upgraded.

UCM (CBUS) - Ver 5.132
UCM (GSM) - Ver 5.133
Comfort II Ultra motherboard - Ver 5.183

I have tried the contact you have given, but no response yet.

Thank you

The UCM programming cable  should be supplied with every UCM
Perhaps it is still in the box?


You can upgrade your UCM to version 7 without the UCM programming cable, see
http://www.comfortforums.com/forum20/3543.html

But you need the programming cable to upgrade your 2 UCMs and Comfort. After that you do not need the programming cable to upgrade firmware again

Hi,

Thank you. I have not received such a cable when the install was done and the installer cannot help me. That is why I am enquiring if one can buy this cable separately.

Is it possible to order this directly from the manufacturer?

Thank you

Hi,

I have a UCM/CBUS 5.132 and trying to upgrade the firmware to 6.011. I am doing this using an upgrade cable, but continue to get an upgrade error.

Is there perhaps a known problem with this specific version (5.132) of CBUS/UCM.

Are there other options perhaps?

Thank you

Danie de Bruin

What is the upgrade error message? \"DUT is not connected\" ?
If so, did you shunt the PP2 pins on the UCM/Cbus?
The PP2 (2-pin header) needs to be shunted during the firmware upgrade.
