Using Ethernet

We strongly recommend Flasher-PRO's default Client then Server
mode, because no configuration changes would be required when
moving the Flasher-PRO between LAN and in-vehicle use.
To a Laptop Directly
Connect a cross-over type Ethernet cable (blue with red ends) between
a PC and the Flasher-PRO.
To an Existing LAN
Connect a standard Ethernet cable. On most LANs, Flasher-PRO can
obtain its IP address automatically using DHCP. Ask your network
administrator if this service is available on your network.
Flasher-PRO Checker Program
The Flasher-PRO Checker Program is a handy tool for collecting current
state information of your Flasher-PRO. The program allows you to
change Ethernet configurations, update the firmware, find the current
IP address, and firmware revision.
To run the Flasher-PRO Checker Program, insert the CD that came with
your Flasher-PRO into your PC. Using My Computer, double click on the
CD Rom drive. Next, double click on the "FLPCheckerProject" file.
Updating Firmware with the Flasher-PRO Checker Program
The Flasher-PRO Checker Program can update the Firmware of your
Flasher-PRO either over the Ethernet connection or over USB.
To begin, make sure your Flasher-PRO is connected to your PC. Run the
Flasher-PRO Checker Program. Your Flasher-PRO will automatically be
found. If you have more than one Flasher-PRO attached to your local
network, you have the option to pick a specific unit from the drop down
at the top. Once your Flasher-PRO has been selected, click on "Update
Firmware." Browse to the location of the Flasher-PRO firmware file,
select the file, and click "Open." Your Flasher-PRO will now be updated.
This process can take up to 10 minutes. DO NOT UNPLUG YOUR
FLASHER-PRO UNTIL THE PROGRAM HAS FINISHED.
