Upgrading the Controller’s Firmware

You use the Flash Utility to download new firmware (.fla file) for your controller, to
auto-detect your VT-100/ANSI terminal baud rate, and to run onboard diagnostics.
The Flash Utility is resident in the embedded firmware of the controller.

You access the Flash Utility using a computer with VT-100/ANSI terminal emulator
software, such as HyperTerminal, connected to the controller through the serial RS-
232 interface. The controller auto-detects the baud rate when you hold down the
space bar on the computer while powering-on the controller. Valid baud rates are
9,600, 19,200, 38,400, 57,600 and 115,200. The default baud rate is 115,200 and is
recommended to expedite the download process.
