Use the optional serial remote control to find the firmware version

Use the CLC-10 or a user-supplied terminal emulator program to execute remote queries with

the LPOD-R. Use either of these remote queries to find the firmware information:

• Condensed : <0/SWR?

(returns the firmware version numbers running under Boot, Bulk1, and Bulk2, in the

form B.B.BB)

• Detailed : <0/FRW?

(returns the complete information of the firmwares running under Boot, Bulk1, and

Bulk2 in the form FW- AAAAAAA B.B.BB DD/MM/YY,

where:
• FW-AAAAAAA = the firmware part number
• B.B.BB = the firmware version number
• DD/MM/YY = the firmware release date (Day/Month/Year)

See Chapter 5. OPTIONAL SERIAL-BASED REMOTE PRODUCT
MANAGEMENT for more information on using remote commands/queries.
