Getting Started: Preparing for the Firmware Download
1. First, identify the firmware number and its version number.
User‐supplied items needed:
•
A Microsoft Windows‐based PC, equipped with available serial and Ethernet ports; a
compatible Web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer); and a terminal emulator program
(e.g., Tera Term or HyperTerminal).
•
An M&C adapter cable for connection between the HPOD J6 | COM1 port and the user
PC – either a 19‐pin to 9‐pin Serial Adapter Cable, or a 19‐pin to RJ‐45 Ethernet Adapter
Cable.
A. Connect the Adapter Cable from the HPOD J6 | COM1 port to the pertinent port on the user
PC.
B. On the PC – configure the terminal emulator program.
Configure the utility program for either serial port or Telnet communication and terminal
display operation:
• 19200 bps (Baud Rate)
• Parity = NO
• Local Echo = ON
C. On the HPOD – energize the unit.
D. Obtain the firmware information via one of the following methods:
•
Using Serial Remote Control or Telnet via the user PC terminal emulation program –
Log in to the HPOD, and then use 'FRW' remote query to obtain, and make note of, the
firmware information:
Type (without the quotes) "<1/FRW?"<cr> at the command prompt to query the HPOD
for its Firmware Number.
2. Next, create a temporary folder (subdirectory) on the user PC for the firmware archive
download.
Refer to your terminal emulator program HELP feature or user guide for
operating and configuration instructions.
