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.
