Upgrading Module Firmware
Firmware upgrading is a routine procedure that you must perform to
install newer versions of software on 6800
+
modules. CCS Pilot,
CoPilot, or Navigator software version 3.1.1 or later is required for this
procedure. The frame must contain or be connected to another frame
that contains an ICE6800
+
or a 6800+Eth module.
Note
Firmware for the HFS6801
+
must be updated in Boot Loader
mode.
In the unlikely event that the upgrade fails (because of such situations
as network interruptions, power failures, etc.), the module may not
respond to controls and will appear to be non-functional. In that event,
follow the procedures described in
“Correcting a Failed Upgrading
Procedure” on page 20 .
Upgrading the Firmware
You can upgrade your 6800
+
module’s firmware using the Software
Upgrade tool. This tool is included with CCS Pilot, Co-Pilot, or
Navigator software version 3.1.1 or later.
Caution
The File Transfer tab is not meant to be used for firmware
upgrades. For best results, use the Software Uprade tool to
upgrade module firmware.
To upgrade your module’s firmware, follow these steps:
1. Download the most recent appropriate upgrade package from our
Web site or from your CD-ROM.
