Resolution:
Follow the steps below to determine your current UPS firmware revision, select the proper firmware image, and update the UPS firmware.
To find your current UPS ID and Firmware:
Every Smart-UPS has a unique UPS ID. This can be found in the "About" menu on the UPS LCD screen, or via the NMC web interface, in “About” menu, then “Network”.
The "Microlink ID" is a unique identifier for the hardware platform of your UPS. We use the "ID" number to make sure we select the correct firmware file. Sometimes one specific model UPS may have different "ID" numbers depending on when it was produced. Always check the "ID" number of the unit you are going to upgrade and ensure you use the firmware file with the compatible ID. Using the incorrect firmware file can result in damage to the UPS.
