• Run the ControlFLASH program
• Select the T9110 module from the list
• Browse to the T9110 module and select it
• Select the version of firmware to be sent to the module
• Update the module
• The firmware will be downloaded and stored on the module - this take 5
to 10 minutes

Refer to document

ControlFLASH.
The AADvance system uses Internet Protocol (IP) to carry communications
between the controller and the AADvance Workbench. This chapter shows
you how to set up the IP address in the controller. It is convenient to set up the
controller resource number at the same time.

Controller IP Address

The AADvance controller stores its IP address data in non-volatile memory in
the 9100 processor base unit. The data is independent of the 9110 processor
modules in the controller, and so the controller keeps the address information
when you remove a processor module.
You must set up the IP address data when you create a new system, or if you fit
a new processor base unit.
After having set up the IP address data in the controller, you can configure the
AADvance Workbench to find the controller on the network.
This procedure describes how to activate communications using the Discover
tool. After completing the steps, refresh the Discover tool's list of modules to
test for communications.
1. Ensure that the Ethernet cable is plugged into a socket above a fitted
AADvance controller – communications will not 'pass through' unused
slots.
2. Ensure that the controller is activated by turning the locking bar. Wait
for the Ready LED to go green before refreshing the Discover tool. (The
communications tasks are not active until it is 'Ready').
