Download Firmware

The FCR200 uses a serial connection using the XMODEM
protocol to update the firmware. In order to update the
firmware the FCR200 must be connected to a terminal
emulation program supporting XMODEM transfers. This
menu item does not appear when accessing the configuration
menus through telnet.

From the main menu, the user must select the “Download a
new revision of the Firmware” command to start the
download procedure.

To Download Firmware

Once the message “Downloading” appears in the emulator
utility:

1

Use the Transfer

Send File option in the terminal

emulator utility.

2

Select the location of the firmware. Use the
“Browse” button, if you need help finding it.

3

Make sure you select XMODEM as the protocol.

4

Press the “Send” button.

5

The firmware will begin to download.

When the download is complete, the system verifies that the
firmware image was successfully written to the FLASH
memory and then reboots the FCR200. Upon reboot, the
FCR200 detects that there is a newly downloaded firmware
image and copies that image to the boot sector of the FLASH
and then boots with that image. At that point the FCR200 is
using the new firmware image.

The following figure shows what you might see on your
terminal when you download a new revision of the firmware:
