<p>The file was created with a higher access-level programmer, so settings will not be visible.</p> <p>You will still be able to write the file to the control system.</p>

<p>Check the control system is switched on.</p>

<p>Ensure the latest software has been transferred to the Wi-Fi Dongle's File Management area and then click on the 'Exit' icon.</p> <p>The red and blue LEDs should begin to flash rapidly.</p> <p>If they do not, disconnect and then reconnect the Wi-Fi Dongle, then repeat the update process.</p> <p>If you continue to experience problems updating the software, contact Curtiss-Wright for advice.</p>

<p>Ensure the Wi-Fi Dongle is connected to the control system and the control system is switched-on. Ensure no other programming dongle is connected.</p> <p>The red LED should be lit and the blue LED should be flashing.</p> <p>If the blue LED is permanently lit, check the Wi-Fi Dongle is not connected to another device. If it is, remove the connection to that device and try again.</p> <p>If the blue LED is not lit, unplug the Wi-Fi Dongle and try reconnecting.</p> <p>If the blue LED remains unlit, contact Curtiss-Wright for advice.</p>

<p>If another programming device is connected to the control system, or the control system is in OBP Mode, then the Wi-Fi Dongle will not communicate with it. Remove any other programming device, and ensure the control system is not in OBP Mode.</p> <p>If the Wi-Fi Dongle still does not communicate with the control system, contact Curtiss-Wright for advice.</p>

<p>Check the connection to your control system.</p> <p><br />If the red LED remains unlit, contact Curtiss-Wright for advice.</p>
