What does it mean when my FP-2000 Status blinks 8 times

[Fridge]

I am using FP-2000 modules for data logging. I have 9 systems working on one network. Yesterday, 4 of the modules stopped communicating. 3 were flashing a status light 8 times, 1 was flashing 2 times. What do these lights mean?

Hello Fridge,

Thank you for contacting National Instruments.

Both 2 and 8 flashes on the status LED indicates a problem with your firmware. Try updating your firmware to fix this problem. To do this in MAX, select your FieldPoint Bank under Remote Systems and click on the Firmware Tab at the bottom of the screen. Then browse to your firmware (it should default you to C:\Program Files\National Instruments\FieldPoint\Firmware\Ethernet\FP-2020, or something similar) and click on Upload.

Let me know if this does not help...
