1.

 

Log in with a Power User or Administrator access level. 

2.

 

If the target is in Application Mode, select 

Reboot to Configuration Mode 

as shown in Figure 31. 

3.

 

Wait for the utility to re-acquire the target. 

4.

 

Click 

Firmware

. You will be prompted to locate the firmware file. Firmware update file names are 

prefixed with 

A-1519/1520

  and have an extension of 

.hfw

. For example, firmware revision 7.35 

would have a file name of 

A-1519/1520_Firmware_V7_35.hfw

5.

 

Locate the A-1519/1520 Type II firmware update file and click 

OPEN

6.

 

Wait for the utility to finish processing the file for uploading to the target (see Figure 40). 

 

When the file processing completes, verify that 

you want to update the target firmware with the 

specified file version  (see  Figure  39). The 

firmware version that is presently installed in 

the target is shown in the Target Properties 

area of Figure 40. In that example, the target is 

using firmware version 7.033. Click 

YES

  to 

upload the new firmware version, or click 

NO 

if the file version is lower or the same as the 

target version.

WARNING! 

 

The Configuration Utility is designed to be used with a USB cable 

only

. Do not 

attempt to upload firmware or make configuration changes wirelessly. Doing so 

could damage the target.
