FWSG FlashScan Wireless System Gateway

Starting with version 3.0 and higher, firmware updates for devices in the mesh network can be distributed via the mesh network from the 
gateway. SWIFT Tools is required to initiate the firmware upgrade procedure. Refer to Appendix E for firmware upgrade instructions.
An entire mesh network of devices can be upgraded assuming certain preconditions are met:



all devices are running application code version 3.0 or higher,



there are no active “low battery” troubles,



there are no active “class A” connectivity fault conditions,



the mesh is in “normal mode”.

Failure to meet the preconditions will be indicated via SWIFT Tools, and must be remedied before the mesh upgrade can continue.

All wireless points associated with the mesh network will be indicating a “no answer” trouble or “invalid reply”. There are two phases to 
the mesh upgrade procedure. 
Phase 1 - Mesh upgrade preparation:
SWIFT Tools must stay in communication with the gateway during the mesh upgrade preparation phase.
The user will initiate the upgrade process via SWIFT Tools, and SWIFT Tools will proceed to automatically update the SLC application 
code of the gateway, the RF application code of the gateway, and transfer the new device application code to the gateway. The user may 

cancel the process at any point during the mesh upgrade preparation. Mesh upgrade preparation can take 5 to 15 minutes depending on 
the number of downloads that are needed. 
Phase 2 - Mesh upgrade in progress:
The gateway will distribute the new application image to the mesh network of devices during this phase. SWIFT Tools is not required to 
be in communication during this phase, but will provide indication of the progress of the upgrade when it is in communication. The dis-
tribution of the new application image may take up to 90 minutes depending on the number of devices in the mesh network. 
The gateway will automatically execute mesh formation at the completion of the mesh upgrade. Any devices that did not successfully 
complete the upgrade will need to be upgraded individually.

B

The system is currently operating in the alternate channel set due to the presences of an interference source operating 
in the same ISM band.

SLOT REALIGNMENT 
(TEMP CHAN SET)

Slot assignments are being re-assigned to avoid empty slots. The system is currently operating in the alternate 
channel set due to the presences of an interference source operating in the same ISM band.

SLOT REALIGNMENT

Slot assignments are being re-assigned to avoid empty slots.

RESTRUCTURING
(TEMP CHAN SET)

The gateway is performing a routine identification and assignment of optimal communication paths for the mesh 
network. The system is currently operating in the alternate channel set due to the presences of an interference source 
operating in the same ISM band.

network.

RESCUE MODE (TEMP 
CHAN SET)

A device has been removed or dropped from the mesh. The mesh network is currently scanning for the return of the 
device or others with a matching profile. The system is currently operating in the alternate channel set due to the 
presences of an interference source operating in the same ISM band.

device or others with a matching profile. 

TEMP CHANNEL SET

The system is currently operating in the alternate channel set due to the presences of an interference source operating 
in the same ISM band.

NORMAL CHANNEL SET

The system is normal.

PROFILE DISTRIBUTION 
DISABLED

The gateway has terminated the distribution of its profile.

PROFILE DISTRIBUTION 
ENABLED

The gateway has started the distribution of its profile.

SWITCH ACCESS 
ENABLED

The gateway is unlocked and the magnetic sensors on the front of the gateway are enabled.

SWITCH ACCESS 
DISABLED

The gateway is locked and the magnetic sensors on the front of the gateway are disabled. Attempts to active the 
sensors will not be recognized.

MAXIMUM DEVICE 
COUNT EXCEEDED

More than 50 devices are attempting to join the mesh network. This is beyond the capacity of the mesh network.

CAUTION: NO FIRE PROTECTION
DURING THE UPDATE, THE MESH NETWORK WILL NOT PROVIDE FIRE PROTECTION.
