Flash Updating

The CLO-10 eliminates the need for updating firmware by physically replacing EPROMs. Instead, the
CLO-10 uses ‘flash memory’ technology internally. This makes software upgrading very simple, and
updates can now be sent via the Internet (Figure 5-1), e-mail, or on disk. The upgrade can be
performed without opening the unit by simply connecting the CLO-10 to the serial port of a computer.

New firmware can be uploaded to the unit from an external PC via the Internet as follows:
