8 Upgrading Firmware and Managing Configuration Data

8.1.2Updating F3400/F1000 Firmware via the EIA232 COM1 Port (X-Modem)

1Connect to the F3400/F1000 using HyperTerminal. For instruction on how to do so, see our support document “Connect HyperTerminal” available on the Documentation/Files section of the F-Series webpage at www.rletech.com.

2Start firmware updates by either:

a Pressing any key after power-up when a 10 second window provides an opportunity to abort the Flash Main Program, or

b Typing EX to exit to Bootloader once the Main Menu appears.

3From the F3400/F1000 Boot prompt, type ? and press ENTER to see the list of available commands.

4From the F3400/F1000 Boot prompt, type ID and press ENTER. Note which Flash has the lowest serial number. The Flash with the lowest serial number is the backup. The idea is to erase the backup, load the new version, which becomes the active Flash, then erase and load the other Flash.

5From the F3400/F1000 Boot Prompt, erase the back up Flash program (the one with the lowest serial number) by typing ERASE PRGM1or ERASE PRGM2 followed by ENTER. After a second or so, the screen will update with an OK.

6From the F3400/F1000 Boot prompt, type LOAD PRGM1 XMODEM or LOAD PRGM2 XMODEM followed by Enter. Select the same program that was erased.

7From the HyperTerminal menu select Transfer -> Send File. Use the browse button to select the F3400/F1000 firmware file from the computer's directory. The file must be binary and have a .bin extension. Select the file and upload it using the 1K X-Modem protocol. Then click Send.

8A transfer status screen will be displayed. The transfer time will take about 10 minutes. Once the transfer is complete, the transfer status window will automatically close. The HyperTerminal window will indicate that the upload is complete.

9From the F3400/F1000 Boot prompt, type RUN or power down the F3400/F1000 and restart it to verify that the new Flash program runs.

10Press ENTER to display the F3400/F1000 Main Menu and repeat the steps above to erase and download to the other Flash program chip.

11Once the firmware upgrade is complete, disconnect the serial cable and close HyperTerminal.
