Receiver Firmware Update for DDF205 without
front control panel
This model requires a different update method which makes use of the LAN inter-
face of the R&S
DDF205 (X7 on the rear panel). The method uses the "Update32"
tool, which runs under Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
Retrieve Update32
The firmware required for the update can be retrieved from either one of the loca-
tions mentioned at
Click on
Firmware Update Program
and
File Explorer
will be launched into
the directory
Update32XP
. The
Update32
tool can be installed by clicking on
Setup
. If your browser does not launch
File Explorer
, you should launch it
manually and navigate to the
Update32XP
directory on the CD-ROM where you
can run
Setup
.
Flash erase and update
While updating a R&S
DDF205, portions of the flash memory will be erased.
This erase process may take up to two minutes, after which the new firmware
will be loaded. This will usually take about one minute for the R&S
DDF205.
The update progress is visualized by the progress bar of the "Update32" tool.
Interrupted Power to R&S
DDF205
Switching off the power supply during the update procedure is not recom-
mended but will not harm the R&S
DDF205 as the "bootprog" is still available
for subsequent firmware update of the system.
