FLS-2200

Upgrading the Embedded Software

6. Go to the “C:\Test” folder and start the upgrade program by typing the

following line (spaces are required between parameters):

Lo0006.exe /C:2 /F:c:\test\filename.hex /S:19200

Parameters can be decoded as follows:

/C: serial port number (COM2 in the above example)

/F: file to copy on your unit (replace “filename” with the actual
name of the .hex file on your hard disk)

/S: computer-to-unit transfer speed (if “19200” does not work, try
“56700”)

7. When a message about waiting for a device handshake appears, turn

on the Broadband Source.

The unit display remains off, the unit beeps once and the upgrade
program starts automatically. A progress bar on the computer screen
indicates the upgrade status. Once the software upgrade is complete,
the message about restarting the unit appears.

8. If the software upgrade was performed under Windows 2000, an error

message to the effect that the LO0006 NTVDM has encountered a
system error and to select close to terminate the application
is
displayed. Click Close to hide the dialog box.
