There are numerous other commands involved in performing the actual firmware update, whose details are beyond the scope of this document. To perform a flash update, simply send the file provided to you by Transact unaltered and the firmware will be updated.

To allow easy access to the field loader, the power button may be used to switch between the factory loader and the field loader and from the field loader and normal operation. When this procedure is used with a serial adapter, the Baud rate will default to 19200 and the Protocol will be both XON/XOFF and Ready/Busy.

Note 1: Do not attempt any other commands in field loader mode. You may experience unexpected and undesirable results.

Note 2: If for any reason, the field loader is corrupt, the factory boot loader must be used to replace it.
