Power off the Terminal and insert the memory card. Apply power to the
terminal. The terminal on power-up will sense new firmware and
download it from the card. You will see a series of codes on the screen (2
– 20 – 21 …) and then the drive application firmware will start. The
process may take several minutes. When the download is finished, remove
the card from the Terminal. (If you leave the card in the terminal, it will
reload the firmware each time the terminal is powered up).
DOSFWDL
This is a DOS program which copies the .FMW file out the serial port of
the laptop to the serial port of the terminal. The program is usually
included in the firmware package. The method is described below. In this
example, we are using firmware file FRN_4006.FMW.
Note: If you are using a newer firmware, just make sure the filename is
max 8 character long. You can rename the file, but keep the filename
extension as .FMW. Also, when you are prompted to enter the filename,
make sure you enter the correct filename as illustrated in the following
example.
Method
1.
Make sure the Terminal is powered off. Disconnect Terminal’s serial
cable connector from Analog Processor Board (ACB) and connect it
to the serial port on your laptop. (You may need a gender changer.)
2.
Turn on your laptop and run dosfwdl.exe program. On your laptop,
you should see the screen similar to one shown below.
3.
Type in the firmware filename (e.g., FRN_4006.FMW) as shown in
the screen below and then hit Enter key.
