5. Firmware Updates
The AI Firmware Update program provides a simple means of updating all of the system
files stored in the AI-5120's internal flash memory. The software can be used to upgrade
the system files to the latest version and correct device specific problems if the AI-5120's
flash memory becomes corrupted.
The program is available from the included CD or from our web site at:

Once the AI Firmware Update software is installed on a PC, connect the AI-5120 to one
of its COM ports. Power the AI-5120 on and start the firmware update software. The
software will ask if it should query our website for latest updates. It is recommended to
click yes to ensure the latest firmware is utilized.
Once the update, if available, is downloaded the software checks for all compatible
devices connected to the PC.
Once this is complete a window appears (as shown below) displaying all the connected
devices. For each device, its current firmware revision is shown along with the newest
versions that may be installed. An older version of the firmware may be installed by
clicking on the right most firmware selection icon.
