Uploading Bootloader

3. Click Yes to the Confirm Reboot query.
4. Right-click the ICDM-RX/TCP, click Refresh. You may need to do this several times until you catch the
reboot cycle. The Bootloader version is briefly displayed during the reboot cycle before SocketServer
application loads.
5. Check the https://www.pepperl-fuchs.com web site to see if a later version of Bootloader is available.
6. Go to the next subsection if you need upload a new version of Bootloader.
8.9.2. Uploading Bootloader
Use the following procedure to upload Bootloader to the ICDM-RX/TCP. Typically, you should not update the
Bootloader unless advised to do so by Pepperl+Fuchs Technical Support or a notice has been posted with the
firmware at https://www.pepperl-fuchs.com.
Note: Technical Support does not recommend updating Bootloader across a WAN. For best results, connect
the ICDM-RX/TCP directly to a PC or laptop to upload Bootloader.
Make sure that power is not interrupted while uploading Bootloader. Power interruption
while uploading Bootloader will require that the ICDM-RX/TCP must be sent into
Pepperl+Fuchs so that it can be reflashed.
If you are not successful uploading SocketServer into the ICDM-RX/TCP, do not upload
Bootloader.
1. If you have not done so, install PortVision DX (Installing PortVision DX on Page 27) and Scan the network.
2. If necessary, check the Bootloader version (Checking the Bootloader Version on Page 100) and download
the latest version.
3. Right-click the ICDM-RX/TCP for which you want to update, click Advanced > Upload Firmware, browse
to the Bootloader .cmtl file, and then click Open.
4. Click Yes to the Upload Firmware message that warns you that this is a sensitive process.
5. Click OK to the second Upload Firmware message.
6. Right-click the ICDM-RX/TCP and click Refresh until the Bootloader version displays and verify that the
new version loaded.
