Appendix
Upgrading the BestLink Adapter Firmware
During the upgrade process, the BestLink Adapter is inaccessible, but restarts automatically within a minute after completing the upgrade.
To upgrade the firmware, use the following steps:
1.Locate a networked PC with Windows 95, 98, NT, or 2000.
2.Copy the supplied Firmware Upgrade Utility (blupgrade.exe) program to the PC.
3.Run the Upgrade Utility from Windows by selecting Start, Run, and then entering the path and filename blupgrade.exe.
4.Assuming that the network (TCP/IP) connection for the PC can reach the BestLink Adapter needing the firmware upgrade, select Discover which instructs the utility to attempt to find all reachable BestLink Adapters on the network. Any adapters that are found are displayed in the table.
5.Before an upgrade can be performed, select the desired adapters from the display list and enter the Superuser name and password.
Select the BestLink Adapter to be upgraded (up to four adapters at a time under most network conditions) by activating the checkbox for each adapter’s IP address. Those that have not been selected in this manner are not upgraded.
6.Select Open next to Filename and select the binary upgrade file that you would have previously downloaded or otherwise received and copied to the PC.
Select Upgrade to start the process. Once the process starts, do not cancel or interrupt the upgrade process. Otherwise, the BestLink Adapter receives a corrupted image, preventing the adapter from operating correctly.
7.When the Upgrade Utility completes, exit the program by selecting Quit and then answering Yes to the confirmation.
