You may need to update the firmware on the DeviceMaster to support the latest features and
functionality. If you have a
DeviceMaster UP , see the DeviceMaster UP Firmware page for
protocol-specific firmware.
There are several types of firmware that run on the DeviceMaster:
•
SocketServer is the default application shipped on most DeviceMaster models, excluding
models shipped with protocol-specific firmware for the
DeviceMaster UP .
Note: Technical Supports recommends that you update to the latest version of
SocketServer before installing an NS-Link device driver or configuring socket ports.
•
Bootloader is the Redboot operating system that runs the DeviceMaster during the power
on phase, which then starts a default application on the DeviceMaster.
Note: Typically, you do not update the Bootloader unless instructed by Technical Support
or the web (ftp) site.
