Uploading Protocol-Specific Firmware on the DeviceMaster UP

Some DeviceMaster UP models come from the factory with SocketServer
firmware, which provides an interface to TCP/IP socket mode configuration and
services, installed on the device.

If your DeviceMaster UP contains SocketServer, you must replace SocketServer
with Modbus Router.

The CD shipped with the DeviceMaster UP contains the required firmware and
support files in a self-installing (.msi) file or you can download the latest from the
Internet.

Use the following procedure to update the firmware on your DeviceMaster UP for
Modbus Router. See

Locating Software and Documentation

on Page 6, if you need

to download the .msi file.

Note: If you have not done so, install PortVision DX (

Installing PortVision DX

on

Page 12) and install the firmware.msi file.

1.

Start PortVision DX by double-clicking the PortVision DX desktop icon or click
Start > Programs > Comtrol > PortVision DX > PortVision DX.

2.

Right-click the device or devices for which you want to upload firmware and
click the Advanced > Upload Firmware menu option.

Note: Optionally, you can highlight a device and use the Load button.

3.

Browse and select the protocol firmware (.cmtl) file and click Open.
