You can perform the following firmware and configuration operations for the Protocol
Converter:
♦ Load different firmware to the Protocol Converter. RLE occasionally updates the firmware
to add enhancement or fix errors. Firmware updates are available on the RLE website at
www.rletech.com . Download appropriate firmware to an accessible place to upload to the
Protocol Converter via MIME or TFTP through a LAN connection. Firmware files have a
.bin extension.
♦ Make a backup of your custom configuration or copy the same configuration to several
Protocol Converters rather than having to change the settings manually on each unit. The
configuration settings are contained in a .cfg file.
♦ Make a copy of the configuration for a device so you can copy that configuration to other,
identical devices. The configuration settings for a device are contained in an .xml file.
A.1. Load Flash Firmware Using MIME
To update the firmware for the Protocol Converter using the MIME (multipurpose Internet
mail extensions) standard:
1 Go to the RLE website at http://www.rletech.com .
2 Locate the firmware (a .bin file) for the Protocol Converter. Using the same filename, save
it to a local disk.
IMPORTANT Do not change the name of the firmware file when you save it. Otherwise, the Protocol
Converter will not recognize the file.
3 In the Protocol Converter’s user interface, go to Configuration>System.
