5.0 BREADCRUMB SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE
5.1 BREADCRUMB FIRMWARE
5.1.1 INTRODUCTION
Each BreadCrumb relies on low-level software known as firmware for proper execution. Rajant
periodically releases updated BreadCrumb firmware. The updated firmware must be obtained from
Rajant.
For a BreadCrumb to communicate with other BreadCrumbs or a BCAdmin client, the firmware version
of the device must be compatible with the version of all other device firmware within the network, and
with the version of BCAdmin running on a client PC!
Refer to the procedures to install and upgrade versions of BCAdmin and upgrade BreadCrumb firmware to ensure
compatibility.
5.1.2 UPGRADING THE FIRMWARE
For your hardware version 3 BreadCrumbs, download the firmware zip archive using the link
provided by your Rajant Account Manager.
1. Create a new, empty folder and unzip the archive into it.
2. Copy the unzipped files (and only those files) onto an empty (no pre-existing files) ATA Flash
Memory Card (of at least 16MB). The flash card may be directly purchased from
http://www.magicram.com/flshcrd.htm
3. Proceed with the flash instructions below.
5.1.3 FLASH UPDATE PROCEDURE FOR VERSION 3 SYSTEMS
Note: BreadCrumb Wireless Network-specific parameters, like name and location , are reset to their
default values after the upgrade. The user should record these and other parameters to reload into
the BreadCrumb devices after the software installation procedure is completed.

2. Remove the top PCMCIA card, leaving one radio card still installed in the bottom slot .
