3.
Select the appropriate ION device in the List Devices of Type box. The Device
Upgrade utility searches your system and lists all the supported devices in the
Select Devices to Upgrade box.
4.
Select the device(s) you want to upgrade from the Select Devices to Upgrade list.
To make multiple selections, hold down the Ctrl key.
The Save/Restore Framework check box is selected by default so that you do not
lose your current framework template during the upgrade, including any
custom frameworks you may have configured. Clearing the Save/Restore
Framework check box deletes the current framework template for each selected
device when the firmware upgrade is complete; there is no framework
configuration in the upgraded devices. It is recommended that you leave this
check box selected.
If you intend to replace the meter’s framework template with the newest default
template after you upgrade the firmware, then you can clear the check box.
Remember to download the ION software updates to support the latest
firmware version (these can be found at

If you are upgrading multiple devices, specify in the Failure Handling area how
the Device Upgrader utility responds to an unsuccessful upgrade:
Select Halt After and specify the number of devices with failed upgrades
that can occur before the utility stops.
By default, the utility is set to stop after the first failed upgrade. If, for example,
you increase this number to 5, the Device Upgrade utility will continue
upgrading devices until the entire selection has been upgraded, or a total of five
devices have failed the upgrade process.
Select Ignore All to attempt to upgrade all of the selected devices regardless
of any failures.
Choose the type of device that you
want to upgrade. (In this case, it is a
meter.)
This area lists all available devices
of the specified type. Highlight the
device(s) to upgrade.
When upgrading multiple devices,
specify whether the utility should halt
if a certain number of device
upgrades fail.
Save/Restore framework is enabled
by default, so custom frameworks
are not overwritten during upgrade.
Click this button to browse your
system and locate the upgrade file.
In this example, an
ION 7300 Ethernet
card is the device
selected for upgrade.
Select the ION 7300
meter that contains
the ION 7300
Ethernet card that
will be upgraded.
