5.11 Firmware and Remote Access

Got your email Allen, thought I would reply here for everyone to see.

The LAN connection is referring to PAB only updates not Controller these still are done over RS232 or USB.

My preffered method for controller updates is using the download tool over RS232, fail safe

Micheal I appreciate your taking the time to reply to this.

I hope you have a great day! Thanks to all of your hard work I am sitting here "tinkering" with my P3 (wirelessly of course) and having a BLAST! It's like Santa came early

THANK YOU!!

same here, but I use USB to serial.

I just did the update with no issues. I too connected RS232/USB connection.

I am actually looking at including in all kits for our sales region USB adapters that we have proven to work so everyone can use the download tool, its so much easier and quicker

I think that would be a GREAT idea and possibly help to eliminate some future problems with "non-compatible" cables and adapters.

Upgrade to FW 5.11, no Web interface.
Make a reset, nothing change. Erase own files, still no web interface. In fact, could not even connect to laptop through LAN cable, only through USB cable.

Downgrade to FW 5.10, Web ok (as before the upgrade).

Upgrade again to FW 5.11, again no Web interface. But this time I could connect through LAN cable from my laptop.
Make a reset and erase own file from Web site, still no Web interface, but still able to connect to my laptop through LAN cable.

Downgrade to FW 5.10, Web ok again.

All results were regardless I was using PLC 5.1.1.2 or 5.1.0.0.

No error message through the upgrade.
Must be some kind of bug.

maybe inform them about which lange of FW you use

In the past there have been small differences between the same FW but another language. (like a bug only in DE version etc... )

you never know.

I am using 5.11 Ger-Eng using English lang.

this is more than strange

I tried it with the newest firmware D/E and IE9, language = English, and the result was this:

The first question to clear is: I ist a general problem with the LAN-interface? Or is "only" the web interface not displayed but the direct connection with PL over LAN is working? What browser are you using?
