APPENDIX F – PHONEX FIRMWARE UPDATE
The most recent firmware version is installed by the manufacturer on PhoneX before it is
delivered. Once purchase, the firmware can be updated with the latest version available. The
Firmware Upgrade can be carried using the Windows operating system. The suitable operating
systems are: Windows Xp Sp3, Windows Vista and Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit and 64bit. Check
that Microsoft .net 4 is installed on the operating system; if this is not the case go to
www.microsoft.com
for the installation.
To update the processor follow the procedure below:
Following the initialisation of the device (firmware upgrade), all the user’s settings and
adjustments may be deleted and/or overwritten by the
manufacturer’s new configuration! Save
your current configuration using the Configuration Editor before upgrading the firmware.
In the firmware upgrade phase remember to install the new version of the associated software
for the remote control of the PC. There is a direct correspondence between the firmware and
software versions. For example the PC software version 3.0 the installation of the firmware
version 3.0 on the unit and vice versa. More precisely, the first two digits must correspond; in
so far as possible, the sub-versions (identified by the third digit) are not involved in the
firmware/software compatibility.
As a general rule the
X.Y.Z
software version is executed with the

17.1 PREPARING THE DEVICE FOR THE UPDATE
To execute correctly the firmware upgrade or update into a PhoneX D1 and a PhoneX D2, it is necessary to use a Serial
COM Port type RS232. If the COM port it is native over the PC Motherboard, the Port configuration is not necessary. If a
USB-to-COM converter is used to emulate a COM port, in some case the baud configuration can be necessary. The
upgrader software works with these parameters:
38.400bps, 8-N-1
