Chapter Objectives
This chapter provides topics on how to upgrade firmware in the terminal.

Upgrade firmware using a removable storage device
The firmware upgrade runs an executable script on a removable storage device
such as a USB flash drive or a microSD card that copies a firmware image into
the flash memory of the terminal.

Upgrade
Follow these steps before starting a firmware upgrade.
1. Backup applications and library objects from the terminal.
IMPORTANT
The PanelView Explorer feature is only supported on PanelView 800
terminals with firmware revision 2.020 or earlier. It is not supported
from firmware revision 3.011 onwards.
IMPORTANT
From firmware revision 3.011 onwards, the terminal must not be in
Protected Mode when performing a firmware upgrade. For more
information, see
.
IMPORTANT
When you perform a firmware upgrade, your terminal password, VNC
settings, port settings, FTP server setting, and print settings will all be
cleared and reset to their default configuration.
IMPORTANT
Terminate the VNC connection before performing a firmware update as
it may interfere with the process.
