Upgrading Firmware over a
Network Connection
100
You can upgrade firmware in a terminal that is connected to a
computer using a direct serial connection or network connection.
• Serial connection requires a RAS connection to be set up on
computer. During the RAS setup, you select the serial COM port.
This option is used if the computer does not have RSLinx
Enterprise installed or running. The serial connection is not
supported on computers running the Windows Vista operating
system.
• Ethernet connection requires that you enter the terminal's IP
Address.
• Network connection requires RSLinx Enterprise software
running on the computer and the terminal so you can select the
terminal on an existing network.
Both the serial and Ethernet connection requires the File Transfer
Utility running on the terminal.
Follow these steps to upgrade terminal firmware over a network using
RSLinx Enterprise software and Ethernet communication.
