Updating Firmware
The NI-Serial software contains a firmware update utility you can use to
access new features that may be added to the serial ENET interface in
the future. It may be necessary to update the firmware to take advantage
of these new features.
You need to know either the IP address or hostname of your serial ENET
interface before you run the NI Ethernet Device Firmware Update utility. If
you do not remember this information, you can obtain it by Viewing
Network Settings.
Note The NI Ethernet Device Firmware Update utility cannot
update the firmware while any network connections are active.
Close any open connections before you attempt a firmware
update. Hosts cannot connect to the serial ENET interface while it
is updating the firmware.

Update utility.
1. Launch MAX.
2. Expand the Devices and Interfaces directory by clicking on the +
next to the folder.
3. Right-click any serial ENET interface and select Update
