Upgrading FastPath 4 to FastPath 5?
Posted by: NJRoadfan on 2013-09-20 22:26:39 If the battery was dead, the unit likely needs a hard reset. Replace that battery, otherwise the configuration is lost after switching the unit off! In Net Manager click the Fastpath entry and in the Fastpath menu click "Restart". See my e-mail for further directions. Also make sure both the Localtalk and Ethernet cables are connected as I think the new ROM does a link test.
