LOAD FIRMWARE & CONFIGURATION FILES
You can perform the following firmware and configuration operations for the Protocol Converter:
• Load different firmware to the Protocol Converter. CPI occasionally posts updates for the firmware to add enhancement or fix errors.
Firmware updates are available on the CPI website at http://www.chatsworth.com/support-and-downloads/downloads/software/.
Download appropriate firmware to an accessible place to upload to the Protocol Converter via MIME or TFTP through a LAN
connection. Firmware files have a .bin extension.
• Make a backup of your custom configuration or copy the same configuration to several
Protocol Converters rather than having to change the settings manually on each unit. The
configuration settings are contained in a .cfg file.
• Make a copy of the configuration for a device so you can copy that configuration to other,
identical devices. The configuration settings for a device are contained in an .xml file.
A.1. Load Flash Firmware Using MIME
To update the firmware for the Protocol Converter using the MIME (multipurpose Internet
mail extensions) standard:
1. Go to the CPI website at http://www.chatsworth.com/support-and-downloads/downloads/software/.
2. Locate the firmware (download the zip file and extract the firmare. – a .bin file) for the Protocol Converter. Using the
same filename, save it to a local disk.
IMPORTANT: Do not change the name of the firmware file when you save it. Otherwise, the Protocol
Converter will not recognize the file.
3. In the Protocol Converter’s user interface, go to Configuration>System.
