Updating Firmware

If necessary, you can replace the SCP’s firmware without changing firmware chips. This procedure must be performed using a PC on which the Firmware Loader Software has been installed. The PC’s RS-232 port must be directly cabled to the SCP’s RS-232 port.

CAUTION Do not attempt to upload firmware if a System 5 IP is connected to the SCP with any connections other than power. The RS-232 cable from the PC must be connected directly to the SCP.
