Upgrading Firmware

You can upgrade the firmware for the controller and the Ethernet card in the router.

Information regarding the latest release of firmware and firmware updates is available from the Chaparral Web site (www.chaparralnet.com and click on “Support”). Contact Chaparral technical support for firmware updates at (303) 845-3200.

Upgrading the Controller’s Firmware

You use the Flash Utility to download new firmware (.fla file) for your router, to auto- detect your VT-100/ANSI terminal baud rate, and to run on-board diagnostics. The Flash Utility is resident in the embedded firmware of the router.

You access the Flash Utility using a computer with VT-100/ANSI terminal emulator software, such as HyperTerminal, connected to the router through the serial RS-232 interface. The router auto-detects the baud rate when you hold down the space bar on the computer while powering-on the router. Valid baud rates are 9,600, 19,200, 38,400, 57,600 and 115,200. The default baud rate is 115,200 and is recommended to expedite the download process.

To upgrade the router’s firmware:

1Call Chaparral technical support for information about downloading the firmware updates.

See Chaparral Technical Support on page 4-1.

2From the computer connected to the router, access the Router Administrator software.

See Configuring the Router on page 3-1.

3From the System Menu, select Shutdown/Restart and press Enter.

The system confirms that you want to shut down.

4Select Yes and press Enter.

The system confirms that it has shut down.
