load this card in the target terminal to upgrade the firmware.

Create Firmware Upgrade Card

Software>RSView Enterprise>Firmware Upgrade Wizard.

In the Firmware card location text box, select the destination for
the CompactFlash files (folder on the hard drive or physical

From the Existing terminal list, select the type of terminal you
are upgrading, then press Next.
