5.3 Firmware Update

The update file is available on the Hayes web site:

www.hayesmicro.com or www.hayes.co.uk. Before you start

the update process, access the web site and download the file to

your hard drive.
To access the Firmware Update page of your Configuration

Manager, on the Advanced Setup page, click the Firmware

Update button.

Important:

When you open the Firmware Update page, the

modem driver shuts down in order to free sufficient resources to

upload new firmware. Therefore, if you decide not to complete the

process, you must reboot the modem in order for it to resume
normal operation.

web site. If the update consists of more

than one file, follow the directions in the

readme file included with the firmware as to
which file to upload first.

Browse

where you select the update file.

Send

flash memory.
