Hazard of device damage by disruption of voltage supply during
firmware update!
Do not interrupt the voltage supply while downloading the firmware of the
gateway. Power failure during a writing process within the file system can
cause severe malfunctioning of the device.
Wait until the download has been completed, then reset the gateway
(i. e. briefly disconnect the gateway from the voltage supply) in order to
start the new firmware.
