Chapter 8: Device Manager Installation & Operation
Updating Firmware
Preparation. Before you begin any firmware update procedure, you must obtain the newest firmware file
with which to do the update. Generally, you can obtain this from the Multi-Tech web site. It may be
available as an .exe file and need to be extracted into a .bin or .hex format before installation.
When the Update command is invoked, a screen will appear prompting you to save the current
configuration. We highly recommend clicking Yes.
In saving the configuration, you will be led through a sequence of screens (see the section "Saving a
Configuration" presented earlier in this chapter).
After the configuration has been saved, the Update [Device] at N.N.N.N screen appears. From this
screen you specify which type of code to update (server, boot, or modem code) and Browse to the
appropriate up-to-date file. The "Get Versions" button allows you to check the firmware versions currently
installed in the device (FaxFinder, CallFinder, or MultiAccess unit) to confirm that the update file you
intend to install does indeed represent an update. When ready, you click Start Update.to begin the
updating process.
The illustration below shows the Update [Device] at N.N.N.N screen after completion of an update.
(In this case, a POTS modem in an FF820 FaxFinder was updated.)
