FLASH UPGRADE NOTES
In some cases the reader may require a new firmware revision to enable
new features or card formats that are not included in a previous revision.
To upgrade the reader, you need to obtain the new firmware file from
Software House, and then connect to the reader through a local RS485
connection, using terminals 9 and 10.
In most cases you can use a RS485-to-USB device, or a RS232-to-RS485
converter to connect the PC to the reader. Once a physical connection is
established, double-click on the firmware update utility, which is a self-
running executable. A typical flash upgrade takes about 2 minutes per
reader.
For more information about upgrading the firmware revision, refer to the
PDF document entitled
SWH Readers Download Firmware to Reader
posted on the Software House Member Center.
