Installation Guide
3.
Enter the polling address number for the specific reader to be
configured in the
Enter the Target’s Gold Address (ex. 10-19)
field (this is usually a number from 10 to 19). This entry is currently
ignored for Odyssey.
4.
In the
Select Processor to Upgrade
area, select the
P1
or
P2
check
box, depending on which processor you want to update. If the
upgrade package includes files for both processors, it is usually best
to upgrade P1 first.
5.
Click the
Click here to open File Selection Box
button and locate
the new firmware file, which must be a file name in the general form
P2V10400 hex. Make sure you select the correct file for the
processor.
If either processor is upgraded with the wrong file, the
reader will become unresponsive, and the reader will need to be
returned to the factory for repair. This issue is usually avoided by
the program looking for a “P1” in the filename for a P1 upgrade,
and a “P2” in the filename for a P2 upgrade.
6.
Click the
Start
button. The status window will show the progress of
the operation. An upgrade should take less than 5 minutes for each
processor.
7.
After the status window shows that the upgrade is complete for P1,
wait 30 seconds for the reader to reboot before beginning an upgrade
for P2.
After the firmware upgrade is completed, the reader will reboot
automatically and should resume normal operation within 30 seconds.
