Firmware update – How to do FW update or factory reset of 2N® Indoor Touch?

How to update 2N® Indoor Touch?

2N® Indoor Touch can be updated with microSD card (highly recommended) or web interface. The firmware package always includes the latest OS version, the 2N launcher (home screen) and 2N® IP Mobile application. The web interface is available since FW version 2.0.3. It can be used for FW update of the device besides other features. Main difference between these two options is the type of the update. In case of SD card you can choose between full or partial update. Full update will reflash everything and device configuration will be lost. However if you perform factory reset of the device, then the device will remain on the same FW version. If you choose partial update, then user configuration will be preserved. Nevertheless, the device will go back to the last FW version which has been uploaded by full update once factory reset is performed. The web interface update allows for partial update only.
