Issues to consider when performing flash upgrades
The upgrade program rewrites the internal firmware code. If the upgrad\

process is interrupted then the unit will have invalid code and will not\
be able
to operate. It is therefore good practice to ensure that the upgrade pro\

is always fully completed. A partial or failed upgrade may be rectifie\
