Upgrading the Router’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.
