Flash Updating the Adapter

The adapter can be flash updated over the network or serially through a
direct connection from a computer to the drive using a 1203-USB or
1203-SSS serial converter.

When flashing over the network, you can use the Allen-Bradley software
tool ControlFLASH, the built-in flash capability of DriveExplorer Lite or
Full, or the built-in flash capability of DriveExecutive.

When flashing through a direct serial connection from a computer to a
drive, you can use the same Allen-Bradley software tools described above,
or you can use HyperTerminal set to the X-modem protocol.
