Upgrades to Comfort II and UCM/ETH for iPhone app

[AdrianL]

I have a Comfort II PCB with Firmware ULT 5.045 and a UCM06/ETH02 with firmware 6.xxx and I wish to use the iPhone app. Can you confirm that the necessary upgrades are as follows:
Upgrade UCM to latest firmware
Buy MPU01 and upgrade Comfort II to latest firmware

Also, what are the benefits in upgrading to ETH03?

Thanks for your help

Eth3:

My two-penneth:

• Smaller and runs a lot cooler;  could fry an egg on my Eth2. 
  
• Software updating a lot easier and Comfort Manager a lot better than the old Tibbo software.
  
• Email and Time Sync features possible.
  
• Perhaps more to come from Cytech in future as more programmable.

also the ETH03 has 2 ports for connection at the same time

Thanks Julian - I suppose if I am upgrading I might as well get all the latest hardware.

Thanks slychiu - what sort of scenario would require 2 ports?

If I decide to go to ETH03 should I replace the UCM as well? The one I have at the moment has UCM PC01-066A and P049671 on it.

ComfortClient on the one port and iPhone app on the second.

PS. You only need to upgrade the Eth02 to Eth03 module.

The hardware has arrived but I see the ETH03 needs UCM firmware 7.028 or above so I presume I need to upgrade this before installing the ETH03. The current setup of UCM06/ETH02 seems to be working fine: I can Buzz the ETH using DS Manager and see the green and orange lights flash and I can execute responses and download configuration to Comfort using Comfigurator. However, when I use the Modules tab and right click on the UCM and select \"Download Firmware Upgrade\" I get \"Failed to connect to UCM - please check the UCM Connection Settings\". How should I proceed?

[CytechMartin]

The UCM Manual can be downloaded by selecting the UCM in Modules and clicking Display Manual as shown below (example shows UCM/KNX)



After that, right click the UCM then choose \"upgrade firmware from local file\". Select the firmware file you download previously.

However, when I use the Modules tab and right click on the UCM and select \"Download Firmware Upgrade\" I get \"Failed to connect to UCM - please check the UCM Connection Settings\". How should I proceed?

\"Download Firmware Upgrade\" will download the latest firmware from the server into a local folder, so you can use \"Upgrade from Local File\" later
This (download firmware upgrade0 requires an Internet connection, but it does not require the UCM to connect. Are you sure you are right clicking on the UCM and selecting \"Download Firmware Upgrades?\"

[AdrianL]

Thanks for your suggestion CytechMartin. I downloaded the file and tried an update but got \"Firmware upgrade encountered errors\". I shut down Comfigurator, turned off the windows Firewall and tried the upgrade again and it worked OK. Was this a coincidence or could the firewall be blocking things?

Slychiu - when I right click on Controller and select Download Firmware upgrade I get \"Module scanning requires Comfort version >= 5.154 and UCM version >= 5.171. Please add manually ....\". When I right click on UCM01 and select Download Firmware upgrade I get the message \"Failed to connect to UCM - please check the UCM Connection Settings\". In both cases the \"Check for firmware upgrade\" is greyed out in the context menu.

We have not found any problem with Windows firewall so far
The module scanning may not have returned the correct results the first time

So is everything OK now?
