2. Open the Firmware Updater from the start menu, located in the Vicon Access Control sub

folder, or in Windows 8 search for "Firmware Updater".

3. Browse to the System Overview page in Vicon Access Control. From here, click on the gear

icon next to a Panel you'd like to test. A drop-down menu will appear.

4. From the drop-down menu, select "Firmware Update Mode". The Panel will now disconnect

and be placed into firmware update mode.

5. Switch over to the Firmware Update Utility. Monitor the window for activity. If the Panel

fails to connect to the updater, please contact Vicon or your System Administrator.
