T61 Firmware Update
For the cases that there is a need to patch up the firmware of T61 devices, Center Manager software
provides two convenient ways of doing it. One way is to use direct wire. It is a faster way but devices
need to be connected to Center Manager using RS232 cable. Another way is to update via TCP
connection. This is a slower but it becomes very handy if the devices are deployed at remote. In both
cases, Center Manager software is mandatory. Please refer to the following sections for more
details.
