Using FPC 1000 with a Notebook PC
2.2.2.7 Software Upgrade Notes
Several issues apply to the FPC 1000 upgrade process:
• Third party firewall programs may affect over-the-air upgrade. If the over-the-air
upgrade does not work, you may need to disable all third party firewalls before
retrying. Check with third party firewall software user instructions on how to
disable.
• The situation may occur that users stop download of upgrade software before
completion. When download is resumed, it will continue from where it was
halted.
• When upgrading driver software on a PC running Windows 98 SE, users will be
prompted to reboot the computer for the changes to take effect.
• PCs running Windows 2000 and Windows XP require user login, per configured
user rights. These rights affect the upgrade process as follows:
o Users logged in as “Administrators” have full rights regarding upgrade.
They can install software upgrades as detailed in the preceding sections.
o Users logged in as “Power Users” will be able to upgrade FMM software
and DSP image, but will receive an error message when trying to install a
new driver. To enable a driver upgrade, the current FMM session must be
closed, and then a user with “Administrator” rights must log in to the PC
to perform the upgrade.
o Users logged in as “Users” or as any other available user type will not be
able to upgrade PC Card software. To enable a software upgrade, the
current FMM session must be closed, and a user with “Administrator”
rights must log in to the PC to perform the upgrade.
