Firmware Versioning

2N® MeterCom PRO uses five-digit versioning (1.2.0.2.0, e.g.). The first three digits are relevant for the customer and the other two digits are reserved for development purposes. Debugging can be activated if necessary by special firmware. The  last version number specifies which type of firmware is applied: an odd number means that debugging is allowed and an even number signals that debugging is disabled.
