  • I m happy to read that you don`t have the virus

    Why do you need a longer Ethernet wire?

    If you have problem maybe I can help you with remote pc or send me the usb drive and you only will need to put in your kemper

    thank you very much, I can send you the usb drive, if that works for you, roger

  • What version of the OS is in your KPA?

    From the Kemper website:

    If your PROFILER™ is operating under a software revision older than 1.8.2 release, it cannot be upgraded to current software in one step. Please upgrade to 1.8.2 release first, and then take a second step and upgrade to current software.

    Yeah, that's why I asked him in post #5, Paul (see below). Turns out it's not a concern anyway, but I imagine you went through the same thought process I did when I tried to think of any gotchas in order to make the update as simple as possible for him.

    Actually, there is one necessary interim step if the OS is older than v1.8.2 Release, Alan. The OP hasn't used his Profiler for 4 years so if he was up-to-date at that time, this shouldn't matter to him.

    For those who might be interested, this is explained in the v5 manual:

    From Reference Manual 5.0

    Usually, you can update to the latest operating system in one step. However, if the operating system currently installed on your Profiler should happen to be older than 1.8.2 Release, you need to take an interim step, and upgrade to that operating system version first. Leaving this step out might lead to an error.

    There is of course a chance that this interim step is no longer required when updating to the latest FW version, but I've seen no mention of it since the days when it was necessary.

  • Roger, do you have Skype/Facetime/Zoom/whatever? I'm pretty sure someone could guide you via videochat and you'd be up and running in about 15 minutes.
