DIP Switches and LED Specifications
The DIP switches on this product startup the flash memory loader when only the first switch is ON at
startup.
After the power is turned on, the product checks the status of the DIP switches. If switch #1 is on, the
system enters flash memory load mode. In the load mode, the status LED flashes in approximately
1 second cycles. Switch #2 can determine the wireless mode at this time.
If switch #1 is off, the system starts an application written to the flash memory. By setting switch #2
to on, it is possible to set the default settings at this time.
The following table shows the allocation of operations to each status of the DIP switches.

ROM
Specifications
It is possible to update the product program region by uploading firmware from the network using the
flash memory loader. Normally, this is used to upgrade, but it is also possible to downgrade when
developing products or testing.
FLDP (an independent protocol) and FTP are used as the protocols for upgrading firmware.
•
Use a tool dedicated for upgrading using our FLDP. Upload data (extension: .bin) for
the version upgrade in binary format.
•
Use any general FTP client to upgrade using FTP. Log in, upload data (extension: .bin)
for the version upgrade in binary format to the “flash” directory. TCP/IP is used, so it is
not possible to startup the product in loader mode using the DIP switch operations.
•
If not specified in particular, no initialization of the NIC settings is necessary after
upgrading.
