UPGRADING THE FIRMWARE
The HD9155 series products contain firmware that is contained in a FLASH EPROM device. From time to
time firmware updates will be provided to add additional features to the unit. Use the procedure outlined
below with the computer connected to the SERIAL REMOTE connector to upload new firmware from your
computer. If you have a HD9155 series unit with an audio de-embedder card installed you will need to
use the same procedure with the computer connected to the DE-EMBEDDER COM connector to update
the de-embedder firmware.
You will need the following equipment in order to update the HD9155 Firmware
•
PC with available communications port. The communication speed is 57600 baud, therefore a 486 PC
or better with a 16550 UART based communications port is recommended.
•
"Straight-thru" serial extension cable (DB9 female to DB9 male) or (DB25 female to DB9 male). You
may also use the same cable you are using if you are running the 9150 Configware™ software with
the HD9155.
•
Terminal program that is capable of Xmodem file transfer protocol. (such as HyperTerminal)
•
New firmware supplied by Evertz.
6.3.1. Step 1 – Configuring the unit for Firmware upgrades.
1. Connect the serial cable to the SERIAL REMOTE DB9 connector on the rear panel. If you are updating
the Audio De-embedder firmware in units so equipped, connect the serial cable to the DE-EMBEDDER
COM connector on the rear panel.
2. Connect the 9 pin connector on the end of the serial update cable to the PCs' RS-232 communications
port
