Appendix C: Remote Unit: Flash Upgrading & External Configuration

The Remote unit contains a configuration port accessed through the mouse port. By attaching an upgrade cable between this port and the serial port on any PC (or laptop) the Remote unit’s firmware may be upgraded. In addition, all configuration settings may be saved, adjusted and restored. This could be useful in large system roll-outs where similar length cables are used (by avoiding the need to fully set up each Remote unit individually).

To operate the configuration port, you need:

•A laptop or PC close to the Remote unit running Windows 98 or above. The Remote unit only has to be powered and does not need to be connected to the Local unit.

•An upgrade cable connected between the mouse port and the laptop or PC’s serial port (Part No: ACUFLH).

•A small software utility called ‘ConfigXt’.

•The firmware upgrade file.

The application, detailed instructions and firmware upgrades may be downloaded online. Please consult Technical Support for details on how to do this.

Local units are not currently flash-upgradeable.

Connect the upgrade cable (Part No: ACUFLH) to the Remote unit’s mouse port as shown in Figure 19. Follow the instructions supplied with the application.
