2.2.2.7Software Upgrade Notes

Several issues apply to the FPC 1000 upgrade process:

•Third party firewall programs may affect over-the-air upgrade. If the over-the-air upgrade does not work, you may need to disable all third party firewalls before retrying. Check with third party firewall software user instructions on how to disable.

•The situation may occur that users stop download of upgrade software before completion. When download is resumed, it will continue from where it was halted.

•When upgrading driver software on a PC running Windows 98 SE, users will be prompted to reboot the computer for the changes to take effect.

•PCs running Windows 2000 and Windows XP require user login, per configured user rights. These rights affect the upgrade process as follows:

oUsers logged in as “Administrators” have full rights regarding upgrade. They can install software upgrades as detailed in the preceding sections.

oUsers logged in as “Power Users” will be able to upgrade FMM software and DSP image, but will receive an error message when trying to install a new driver. To enable a driver upgrade, the current FMM session must be closed, and then a user with “Administrator” rights must log in to the PC to perform the upgrade.

oUsers logged in as “Users” or as any other available user type will not be able to upgrade PC Card software. To enable a software upgrade, the current FMM session must be closed, and a user with “Administrator” rights must log in to the PC to perform the upgrade.
