Cable Firmware Upgrades
The following section describes the cable method of firmware download. The cable
method for all terminals is parallel download, using a Laplink
MS-DOS xfer.exe program.
Setup
The following equipment may be needed, depending on the download procedure
used:
•
IBM-compatible PC with a CD-ROM drive and a parallel/serial port.
•
Terminal firmware upgrade diskette or CD.
•
LapLink or equivalent parallel port communications cable (used only if parallel
port is used for downloading).
To validate an image file before downloading, type check <filename.ext> at the
DOS command line, then press Enter. The check utility verifies the image file.
Note
For convenience, drive D:\ is used for the CD drive. You
should substitute the appropriate drive letter for your
PC.
