L449RJKD-N is
L449 - current FW
RJ - family (722)
K - ? (perhaps PCB revision)
D - spooling batch ID
N - NVRAM as source of settings

Are there multipler iterations of L449? Is there something akin to build levels within L449? My 722 shows the Software Version as L449RJKD-N .

No there are not multiple version of L449 sent out. The software version you mentioned also shows the Hardware Id. E.g, one of mine is RBDD-N. It is possible that L449 sent has code that detects and installs different portions of the code depending on the Hardware id. Or it might just adapt as it is running depending on your hardware. Noone who knows is saying.

If you look at the info posted in the Dish Tech discussion Forum,
http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-net...es-thread.html
you will see that the info typically identifies

all hardware version (BOOTSTRAP AND HARDWARE BUILD)
'1[3-8]1[A-G0-8]' 'RB[BDEGHK-NP][A-DJ]'

and one software version, currentlly L4.49
'L449': 'ABA1'- 'CLL1' 'L040'- 'L448'
replacing all regular builds (L040-L448)(AND SOME BETAS(ABA1-CLL1)

At times, I think, they have rolled out fixes that don't identify all hardware versions to do a quick fix for just that version of the hardware.

another 50x release for testing...

Glad I still have 3.69.

I was tempted to get 4.0x but it seems they are still working hard to fix something.

My other 211 boxes got the L3.47 update today. Tonight I'll hook one up to the router, setup the DishComm, then setup the broadband, and see if it all plays.

It'll be nice to get rid of the telephone cable running across the bedroom floor.

Let me know how that goes due to I might replace my 411 to a 211 to get the Ethernet port. I have a 211 in my other room but kind of waiting to see how this turns out..

Thanks for the breakdown. I think your comments and tnsprin's have answered my questions, thanks.

First suggestion is wrong - there is no provision in FW do that way.
Second is correct with short correction - that 'adaptation' checking not the HW ID letters, but bits in HWConfigID ( from not changeable part of NVRAM what set at factory ).

Just noticed. L405???

[Smith, P.]

Right !!!
For 501/508 and 510.

L405 or P405

Sorry that wasn't clear.

L405 or P405

Sorry that wasn't clear.

Two separate PIDs,

P405 is going to all receivers with 'P050'-'P400'.

L405 is going to some receivers with 'P401'-'P404'
