available on the RCP 2000. If the attempted upload of
new firmware fails for any reason, the RCP 2000 reverts
to the factory-installed firmware.

version for a single power cycle by pressing and holding
the Reset button on the rear panel while applying power
to the RCP. The next time the RCP is powered off and
