How to load panel program (firmware updates)
Prerequisite:
Panel firmware versions 7.07.02 and newer require:
• Topaz software version 1.4.6 or later
• Panel firmware version 5.85.00 or later
Note: If the version of your panel firmware is earlier than 5.85.00, you must first upgrade to version 5.85.00 (located in
Topaz CD\Firmware\Beta) and then again to the latest version (located in Topaz CD\firmware\)
1. At the bottom of the screen, in the Load Panel Program section, select the panel you wish to
upgrade from the Field Panel list.
2. In the PROM File Name field, enter the update firmware file name using one of the following
methods:
a. Type the PROM file name. When typing the PROM File Name in the field you must enter
the entire file path, for example, C:\acux070702.s19
b. Click Browse and navigate to the Topaz CD\Firmware\ folder to locate the newest
firmware file. Click Open.
Note: Firmware can only be upgraded from the server. The PROM File can be received in a number of ways,
e.g., floppy disk, E-mail, or CD. Once you receive the file, we recommend that you copy the file to the
hard drive of the server and then reference the updated file from the hard drive. Running an update from
the floppy drive can be VERY slow.

It is also recommended, after updating one panel you check all the features in the updated panel to make
sure that it is functioning properly then continue updating the other panels on your system one at a time.
3. Click Load located to the left of the Field Panels list to start the program loading. A message
“Operation Complete” displays.
