3.5.2 Indicators – Ethernet (ACT) & Serial LEDs
There are 2 LEDs on the rear panel to indicate activity is occurring on the
communication ports. These LEDs are useful in determining that there is activity
occurring on the ports. The "ACT" LED will flash to indicate there is activity on the
Ethernet port. It will also indicate that a link has been established. The Serial LED
flashes to indicate there is activity occurring for the serial port.
A troubleshooting guide is found in Appendix A2, which may be useful in establishing
Ethernet connections.
3.5.3 Firmware upgrades – Ethernet service port
New versions of firmware may be released by Bitronics from time to time, either to add
new functionality or to correct errors in code that may have escaped detection prior to
commercial release. Consult the factory for detailed information pertaining to the
availability of firmware upgrades. In cases such as this, it is desirable to support a
mechanism for new firmware to be installed remotely. The ability to upgrade Firmware
is done over the Ethernet port. The M350 family utilizes a page in the Web Server
interface to upload and install new firmware. A password protected hyperlink is
provided from the Configuration Settings Page that navigates to the Firmware Upload
page.
First obtain a copy of the firmware image. The firmware image is a binary file, less
than 1 MB in length, that can be attached to email, distributed on a CD, or downloaded
from an FTP site as circumstances dictate. Place a copy of the firmware image on
your computer then access the upload page from the Firmware Upload link on the
Configuration Settings page.
This will take you to the firmware upload page, which looks like the screen capture in
Figure 4.
