BASESTATION SERIAL UPGRADER
This application is used to upgrade the firmware of the FreeSpeak
basestation when a new version is released.
It connects to the basestation using a crossover (Null-Modem) serial
cable plugged into the “PC PROGRAM” port. If this cable was not
shipped with the FreeSpeak unit, the pinout is described in Figure
11-1. It expects to be connected to COM port 1 of the PC.
