l Firmware Commands
Firmware commands update the firmware versions of wireless units of field wireless devices and
those of sensor boards (where applicable)via field wireless networks.
TIP
Updating the radio firmware takes 20 minutes per device. You can update the radio firmware for multiple field
wireless devices simultaneously.
Updating the sensor board firmware takes about 11 hours. The firmware in sensor boards of up to 25 field wire-
less devices can be updated simultaneously.
Starting an update of radio firmware or sensor board firmware will temporarily halt wireless communications.
