FLS-2600B

Software Upgrades

To perform a software upgrade:
1.
Turn off the FLS-2600B.

2. If it is not already done, turn on the computer.

3. On the hard disk of your computer, create a directory named "Test"

(C:\Test).

4. Insert the upgrade diskette into the computer’s floppy disk drive and

copy the *.hex file into the new directory (if necessary, unzip the file).

5. Connect one end of a null modem cable to the FLS-2600B RS-232 serial

port and the other end to an unused communication port on your
computer (ex. COM2).

6. If the software upgrade is performed in Windows 98, you have to

restart your computer in DOS mode before starting the upgrade
program. Otherwise, simply exit to DOS.

From C:\Test directory, type LO0006.exe /c:2 /F:C:\Test\*.hex,
which can be decoded as follows:
2 represents the serial port number. In this case, it means COM2.

There is a space between LO0006.exe and /.

There is a space between c:2 and /F.

* represents the name of the file. Do not type *.hex, but rather the
actual name of the file you copied to your hard disk.

7. Press Enter.
