Hi,

I have comfort firmware 5.211 and UCM/Ethernet 5.212 and UCM/CBUS 5.208.

I was waiting for the latest version of Comfort firmware which allows UCM or Comfort firmware updates direct from Comfigurator.  I was hoping therefore not to need to have to get hold of another UCM, however it seems I will still need one to do the initial upgrade to get the UCM to version 6.008.

Are the following steps correct-

1. Upgrade Comfort firmware to 6.005 using the programming cable from the existing UCM Ethernet 5.212.

2. Obtain a 2nd UCM to update the firmware of UCM Ethernet from 5.212 to 6.008

3. Future firmware upgrades can then be done direct from Comfigurator to either Comfort or UCM with no cable or 2nd UCM required. 

Questions

1. Is above correct, or is there another way without needing a 2nd UCM?

2. Once the updates are done, can you therefore in future update the Comfort and/or UCM firmware remotely from an internet connection, without having to open the comfort system? 

Thanks

Yes you will still need to upgrade your Comfort and UCM firmware 1 last time using the programming cable
Once the firmware is 6.xxx, you can upgrade the UCM/Ethernet by direct connect, and the UCM/CBus and Comfort via the Coomfort Bus, using Comfigurator 3.3.1 or above
The procedures are at http://www.comfortforums.com/forum92/2409.html

With a UCM/Ethernet and a port forwarding router configuration you will be able to upgrade the firmware from the Internet. However as protection you will have to press F0 on the keypad to allow firmare upgrade

I am sure someone will be able to help you upgrade your  UCM

Hi,

I have a similar problem, but do not have a UCM upgrade cable.

Where can one order such a cable from?

Thank you
