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 CIB board 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.
4. Now, you will be prompted to enter Port address of your laptop.
Choose a correct port address and then hit Enter key.
