    swupdate fsc http://192.168.2.5:8000/fd70_1.0.11.firmware
  9. Follow the onscreen instructions and information.

    The software update takes a few minutes.

    • In case of failure during the software update, the device indicates a failed update.

      • If you are using PuTTY, in the PuTTY Configuration window type the following in the Host Name field:
        data@<ip>
      • If you are using TeraTerm, in the New connection window, type the following in the Host field:
        data@<ip>

      The IP address you type in the field corresponds to your own operating environment's IP according to the information you set during activation. For more information, see FD70 Installation Guide (M212221EN). Measurement data is shown with the default MES 7.

    2. Check the overall status bits in the MES 7 output to ensure the device is working in normal status.
