FA50

[Ebbtide]

I am having serious issues with the FA50 update. i was able to connect using the cmd window i pinged 172.31.1.1 but was unable to update. here are the issue according to chatgpt

Problems Encountered:​

1. Firmware Utility Confusion (nwuppg.exe):
   
   • The update tool nwuppg.exe appears as a generic “Application” with no .exe extension shown, making it unclear whether it’s the correct executable.
   • Running it directly causes the window to open and close instantly, with no visible progress or messages.
2. Batch File (.bat) Issues:
   
   • Furuno’s batch file runs but provides no visible confirmation or feedback.
   • At one point, a command window returned the error:
     
     
3. • 
     

     “Windows protected your PC”
     This warning interrupted execution and required manual override.

4. IP Configuration Conflicts:
   
   • Initial attempts followed an incorrect IP address setup (172.31.1.2) until it was clarified that Furuno’s instructions specify:
     
     • PC IP: 172.31.1.100
     • Subnet: 255.255.0.0
   • After configuring this, ping 172.31.1.1 succeeded, confirming basic connectivity to the FA-50.
5. No Response from FA-50 or Visible Progress:
   
   • Despite following Furuno’s update instructions and confirming network connection, the FA-50 shows no signs of update activity.
   • No lights, prompts, or messages indicate that the firmware process has started or completed.

Really I cant see the FA50 so i am sure its me but i dont know how to fix it

What Windows version do you have? Ensure your computer IP is set to 172.31.1.1. Ensure any firewalls or anti-virus are disabled. Ensure Wi-Fi adapter is disabled. The connection can be direct from PC to FA50 or from PC to HUB to FA50
