RBS850 compatibility with RBR750

[Dazza762]

Understood. The rest of the system is already on the current FW so we're just discussing the RBS850 and trying to get it connected to the RBR750

[Dazza762]

Ok. Just updated the RBS850 to the V4 you provided on the web interface but it's now saying it's on Firmware Version : 0.0.0.0

@FURRYe38 ignore my last post. Now showing as on V4.6.3.9

[FURRYe38]

Ok kewl. Try v7 then. 

[Dazza762]

Still failing to upgrade to the V7 update though

[FURRYe38]

Try very last v4 version of FW. 

[FURRYe38]

Or try this v4 version first:

@FURRYe38 Finally seem to have it fixed. The issue with the FW was that I was trying to update the RBS850 to V7.2.6.21 as that's what the 750 system is on but the V7 for the 850 is V7.2.6.31. Have now updated the 850 successfully to V7 and everything seems to be working as it should.

For some reason though, I can no longer log into the web UI for the 850 satellite since updating it to V7.2.6.31

I see, NG snuck one in on us. You should have RBS access, however since the 750 series isn't on v.31, and the RBS is, possible not working for the WEB UI. You can downgrade the RBS to v.21 or I presume in near future, the 850 series will see the v.31 FW then you could upgrade the 750 series and all be on same version of FW.

All sorted now with the 750's on V7.2.6.21 and the 850 on V7.2.6.31. Web UI issue is also sorted. Thanks for your help @FURRYe38

Glad you got it working. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
