EtherAnt II User’s Manual
Flash Utility Screen (Figure 3.15)
Firmware Image File –
This field will display all available firmware images that are located in the
ImageData folder, which can be found in the Install directory of the Client Manager. The most recent
firmware image will be automatically selected.
Update Firmware –
When you press this button you start the firmware upgrading process. A
Flash
Update Progress Screen
(Figure 3.16) will appear showing the different steps as they take place. After
the update process ends successfully, the CM will issue a reset command to the EC that will cause the
new program image to be loaded into RAM, and return to the
Flash Utility Screen
. The
Firmware Image
File
should reflect the latest version that has been just upgraded.
If the update process fails, the CM displays a warning message clearly stating that the update has failed.
The user should then attempt to log back in via the CM and re-run the update process. After the process
is done and verified, the CM will issue a reset command to the EC that will cause the new program image
to be loaded into RAM, and return to the
Select EC Screen
. The
Firmware Image File
should reflect the
latest version that has been just upgraded.
Do not ignore a warning message if the update process fails: this will cause
the firmware to load a faulty image into RAM.
If you power-cycle or turn the unit off after a faulty update, it will cause
the EC to fail and require the unit to be sent back to factory for repair.
Always log back in via the CM and re-run the update process as many times
as needed until it is successful before removing power or power-cycling the
unit.
