Zone Director Downgrade problems on ZD1100

Question

My ZoneDirector 1100 is by default on firmware 9.7, and I am trying to downgrade to Version 9.3.

Afer the downgrade, page hungs and the reboot causes the status light to be blinking steadily every half-a-second. All is green but no signal whatsoever on the ZD.

Any thoughts or recommendation on what I should do?

Hi everyone, I have resolved this. Blinking status light in green simply means the ZD is in factory default set-up mode, and I need to go 192.168.0.2 to re-configure the ZD.

all is well, and I can downgrade the ZD with success.

hi Michael, thanks for the help. I just found out that after a downgrade, all settings will get wiped out. as such, I'll have to simply re-configure from 192.168.0.2 mode and viola! all will be well!

thanks again for the direction and help!

And does a power cycle of the ZD, and wait up to 20 minutes, get your LED from flashing Red to a solid Green?
ZD1100 might take a little longer to fully boot up the image.
