With this function activated and a USB medium mounted, the device searches for a loader and/or firmware files in the directory ‘Firmware’. All files in the directory with the file extension ‘*.upx’ will be considered for automatic loading if they are for the correct device type. The device does this by reading the file headers and then using the files according to the following rules:
- If at least one *.upx file with a loader is found, then the loader with the highest version number is loaded, unless the device already contains a loader with a higher version number.
- If at least one firmware file is found, then the firmware with the highest version number is loaded into the device, assuming that its version number is not equal to that of active or inactive firmware versions already in the device.
During the automatic load procedure, the device's power LED and online LED blink alternately. If a loader is uploaded first, the device will restart after this and it will commence a second automatic upload if new firmware is found. During this second load procedure, too, the device's power LED and online LED blink alternately.
The automatic uploading of loaders and/or firmware may, if applicable, be followed by further uploads of configuration files and/or script files, see Automatic upload of configuration and/or script files.
Once the automatic upload procedure is complete, all LEDs on the device light up in green for 30 seconds. You can then remove the USB medium.
