Remote firmware update through a local MS Windows port

If the device is connected through a local port (parallel), then you can send the .RFU file directly to the device by using a COPY command from a command prompt or an MS-DOS window.

Topics:

Windows 98 or Windows Me

Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003

Windows 98 or Windows Me

1.From a command prompt or in an MS-DOS window, type the following:

Mode lpt1:,,p

NOTE If the device is attached to a parallel port other than LPT1, then substitute the correct LPT port number in the mode command.

2.Press Enter on the keyboard. The response you receive should be similar to these examples:

>LPT1 Not Rerouted

>Resident portion of MODE loaded

>Infinite retry on parallel printer time-out

3.At a command prompt, type copy /b <FILENAME> <PORTNAME>, where <FILENAME> is the name of the .RFU file (including the path) and <PORTNAME> is the name of the appropriate device port (such as LPT1). For example, type the following:

C:\>copy /b c:\5200fw.rfu lpt1

NOTE If the file name or path includes a space, you must enclose the file name or path in quotation marks. For example, typeC:\>copy /b "c:\My Documents\5200fw.rfu" lpt1
