Firmware upgrade procedure  

 

Required materials/equipment  

The following materials and equipment are required to upgrade the firmware in an p250 laser:  
 

•

 

Firmware upgrade file (p250_Firmware_Upgrade.zip) from NOVANTA  

•

 

Ethernet crossover cable  

•

 

Windows®-based personal computer 

 

Firmware upgrade procedure  

Disable your computer’s firewall  

1

 

If your computer’s firewall is enabled, notify your IT Administrator, and disable the fire wall before 

continuing with this procedure. 

 

Important Note: You must carefully record and store the new IP address for future reference. 

After the factory-default IP address is changed, it cannot be remotely reset. 

 

Enable your computer’s TFTP Client  

1

 

In the Windows Control Panel, see the prior figure, double-click Programs and Features.  

2

 

Once in the Programs and features dialog, click the ‘Term Windows Features On or Off’ Option as 

shown in the prior figures. 

 

Important Note: By default, the TFTP Client is disabled on Windows® 7 and Vista operating 

systems. Follow the steps in this subsection to enable the TFTP Client feature.
