FIRMWARE DOWNLOAD
Equipments go through constant upgrades, in which new facilitators are installed. To use them, it is
necessary that the equipment firmware is modified. This is done by downloading a new firmware.
To download, the user must have available in his/hers computer the file with the new firmware (which can
be obtained on the DATACOM web site:
www.datacom.ind.br
After obtaining file, the user can download it into the equipment through the terminal, sending the file in a
binary form.
Normally, the Windows® HyperTerminal does not send files in a binary form, but in text form. Therefore it
is recommended not to use the Windows® terminal to download software. DATACOM recommends the
use of the TeraTerm, which is a freeware software and can be found in the following address:
www.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002416/teraterm.html
To update the firmware, log on to the terminal and choose the equipment to which the firmware will be
sent. On the main menu screen press “F”. At the bottom of the screen, a message will show up, indicating
the download status. To start sending, the user must wait until a message appears indicating that the
download can be started. When this message appears, click on “File – Send File...”. Now select the
firmware, marking the “binary” option on the lower left corner of the screen. After that, click on “Open” and
wait for the download to finish. (Around 5 minutes at 9600bits/s)
The download happens with normal modem operation. When the transference is concluded, the
equipment will check the integrity of the received file. Should it be a valid file, the equipment will
automatically update your firmware, and only then will it restart, interrupting the connection for about a
minute and a half.
