Copy the firmware file to the computer's local drive before uploading.

2. Connect a computer to the receiver using a serial (COM) cable, USB cable or Ethernet con-

nection.

3. Start NovAtel Connect on the computer.

4. Use NovAtel Connect to connect to the receiver.

For information about using NovAtel Connect, refer to the help file in NovAtel Connect.

5. Click the

Firmware Update

button.

The Update window appears.

6. Click the

CHOOSE FILE

button.

7. Navigate to the directory that contains the new firmware file and select the file.

8. Click the

Open

button

9. If an Auth Code is required, enter the Auth Code in the

Auth Code

text box.

10. Click the

UPLOAD

button.

7.6 Updating Using SoftLoad Commands

Firmware can be updated on a running receiver using a process called SoftLoad. Any available
communication ports on the receiver (COM, USB, ICOM, etc.) can be used. The SoftLoad process
is made up of a set of commands and logs that are used to send new firmware data to a receiver
and check the progress of the update. Use SoftLoad if automated loading is desired or if a con-
nection is only possible through USB or Ethernet.

The receiver stops tracking GNSS satellites during the SoftLoad process. Do not attempt to
SoftLoad when GNSS satellite tracking on the unit is required. If the unit is connected to the
NovAtel Connect utility, only the Console and ASCII Message windows may remain open in the
Connect Utility.

7.6.1 SoftLoad Commands and Logs

Command

Description

SOFTLOADRESET
