4.3.3. Initiating Firmware From The Terminal Program
You may send commands to the 1200DD series displays Boot monitor in order to upgrade the 1200DD
series displays application firmware. To initiate firmware uploading from a terminal program follow the
procedure described in steps 5 to 10.
5. Press and hold the
SELECT
button (
SETUP
button for the 1201DD) and apply power to the unit. The
display will remain blank. Release the button. After the unit powers up, a banner with the boot code
version information should appear in the terminal window. If the unit continues to boot-up, simply
cycle the power and repeat this step. An alternate method is to hold all three buttons SETUP, ITEM
and SELECT down for 5 seconds if the unit has already been powered up. The display will say,
“UPGRADE”.
For example:
EVERTZ MFC5407 MONITOR 2.1.3

6. The following is a list of possible reasons for failed communications:
•
Defective Serial Upgrade cable.
•
Wrong communications port selected in the terminal program.
•
Improper port settings in the terminal program. (Refer to step 4 for settings). Note that
HyperTerminal will not change port settings while connected. Click on HyperTerminal’s
“Disconnect” Button then click the “Reconnect” button to activate changes to the port settings.
4.3.4. Uploading The New Firmware
7. You should now see a prompt asking you to upload the file.
8. Upload the “*.bin” file supplied using the X-Modem transfer protocol of your terminal program. If you
do not start the upload within 10 minutes the unit’s Boot code will time out. You can restart the
upgrade process by power cycling the unit.
The bin file will have a name similar to:
1200DD.bin
9. The boot code will indicate whether the operation was successful upon completion of the upload.
