I update an EN4 with file “NETRON_4in1_Web_V2.4” and after device upload file I lost control over EN4.

I Tried to change address even factory reset but like he is lost connectivity on both ethernet ports.

It shows on screen of EN4 that cable is in port but no connectivity with laptop from web browser.

I tried to reach it from EDGE and Chrome.

Even Onyx now cannot see it

Network port of my laptop (IP 2.169.56.4) is in the range like EN4 (IP 2.169.56.5)

Boot SW 1,4

Firmware V2.1

Web Ver V2.4

I wanted to update firmware version to 2.6 but now it lost communication and now is not useful

Connect to

2.169.56.4/update.html

and install the web first, then reconnect and install firmware 2.6
