Firmware Management Mode - Promag TR510E Manual

5. Firmware Management mode

The TR510E also features new Firmware Management mode (FMM). FMM
allows you to quickly upgrade your TR510E's internal firmware and also check
validity of the currently loaded firmware. Contact your dealer for the most recent
firmware upgrade files.
FMM itself has two sub-modes of operation: FMM/download mode and
FMM/check mode. FMM/download is entered by keeping the IN button pressed
while the TR510E is powering up. FMM/check mode is entered by holding both
IN and OUT buttons pressed while the TR510E is powering up.
Downloading new firmware (FMM/download)
To upgrade the firmware, you will need a new firmware file and a terminal
software for PC capable of transferring files using Xmodem protocol (Checksum
version).
All TR510E firmware files have a fixed size of exactly 64K (65536 bytes).
The list of popular and widely available terminal programs includes
HyperTerminal for Windows, QModem, and Term95. But please know that
these programs communicate with terminal equipment by serial port
(RS232), so you should create a virtual serial port at your PC site by using
our supply software VSP manager; Please see the detail by manual of
"Quick Start Guide". Procedure below assumes the use of HyperTerminal
which is a part of a standard Windows-95/98/2000 distribution.
