S FIRMWARE UPGRADE
Despite of the fact, that a factory new reader is delivered with a latest firmware available in the
moment of production it can be later upgraded to the newer versions (for new firmware visit
). Please note that upgrades may contain both functionality extensions as well as
corrections to the errors recognized.
Note: It should be taken as a rule that for management of a reader with upgraded firmware, the
latest available software
Patrol Master should be used.
Upgrading a reader’s firmware does not require access to its internal space of the reader and can
be performed using
RogerISP v4.0.10.27 and higher software (also available for download at
Firmware upgrade procedure is as follows:
Connect reader to the PC
Run
RogerISP program and specify communication port the reader is registered in the Windows
system (there is 'PATROL II LCD' phrase next to the listed COM port number)
In the
Firmware window select a new file containing the new firmware (file with HEX extension)
Click on the
Program button
Wait until the message with information that downloading process has been completed
Exit from the
RogerISP program
After programming reader may display message
Config. error
if so press ON/OFF button this
will clear this alarm and reader will automatically initialize setup memory with default values
Start the
Patrol Master software and configure the reader from the scratch
Note: If the reader does not start after upgrade process, it may mean that wrong HEX file has been
uploaded to the device or that errors occurred during the upgrade process. In such case entire
process should be repeated from the beginning.
