With the OSM/ESM it is possible to update the firmware via the serial port.
You can obtain information on the firmware updates for OSM/ESM on the Internet
at

specifying the keyword "OSM Firmware".
To download the firmware you require a PC with Windows 95/98/NT and the
Hyperterminal program available under Accessories. The download is explained
below based on the dialogs displayed in Hyperterminal.
Preparations
Connect the serial port of your PC and the OSM/ESM with a normal null modem
cable . Depending on the port of your PC that you select, you use a cable with a 9-
pin or 25-pin sub-D female connector at the PC end and a 9-pin female connector
at the OSM/ESM end.
The following table shows the pinning and the connections for both types of cable:
