Step 6: Upgrade the Modem’s Firmware
Before you begin the following procedure, read the README.TXT file extracted from the upgrade archive
file. Note the file name for the new firmware (e.g., BkQg300G.hex).
Warning: Never install an older version of firmware over a newer version. Doing so will destroy the
Flash PROM! If the Flash PROM is destroyed, the modem must be sent in for repair.
1. Run Flash Wizard by double-clicking its icon or file name, or by selecting it from the
Start menu. The Identifying Devices dialog box is displayed as Flash Wizard locates and
identifies the devices connected to your system.
Note: If the message ERROR: No valid devices detected is displayed, verify that the
device is powered on and that all cables are correctly and securely attached.
2. Click the modem to be upgraded, and then click Next to proceed.
3. Select the port to be upgraded from the Port list, select the appropriate .HEX file from the
Hex File list, and then click Next to continue.
Note: Do not use FLASHLDR.HEX. This file is used internally by Flash Wizard.
4. The Progress dialog box appears, showing a status bar that indicates the progress of the
upgrade.
Caution: Any disruption of the program during this stage of the upgrade can cause your
modem to become inoperable. Wait for the Next button to become active before
proceeding.
8. When the flash upgrade is complete, the message Programming Complete appears. Click
Next to continue.
9. The Results dialog box appears next. Click Finish to exit Flash Wizard.
