Serial Server
firmware updates may become available through
the B&B Electronics website for installation into the server. The
firmware can be uploaded using either a virtual COM port connection
or hardware COM port connection.
Downloading the Firmware
Make a folder to receive the firmware file. Download the compressed
software file from the B&B Electronics website. Unzip or expand the
file into the (.hex) format so it will be ready to upload to the
Serial
Server
.
Upgrading Via ESP Manager
The
ESP Manager
software can upload new firmware to the server
using a direct PC connection via the ESP901 serial port, ESP902 Port
1, or using a virtual COM port.
