(2) Remote FAX
It is possible to use a set that already has the latest firmware to upgrade a remote set
remotely using the telephone system.
1. On the set that has the latest firmware set it to transmit the upgrade:-
(TECH MODE •DATA SETUP•••• FLASH UPGRADE•••• REMOTE)
2. Enter the telephone number of the set that needs to be upgraded.
(Several faxes can be upgrade at the same time. In this case, enter each fax number.)
3. When the enter key is pressed the set sends the firmware file by calling designated fax
number. (Around 10~15 minutes are needed to send the file.)
Note: The Sending and Receiving fax machines MUST be the same model.
Note: The sending fax must be set up in ECM mode and the Receiving fax memory must be
100%. If not the function will not work.
