The firmware in the OpenComms NIC card can be updated to take
advantage of the latest release of software that may contain feature
enhancements, new unit compatibility or service patches. The firm-
ware is updated through the OpenComms NIC cards’ serial port, using
a terminal emulation program like HyperTerminal in MS Windows
Operating Systems. This procedure has multiple steps and requires
that 3 files be downloaded to the OpenComms NIC card. The latest
firmware can be found at this link on the Liebert Web site:
7.1
Establishing Communication—Necessary
Components
• PC capable of running a terminal emulation application, such as
HyperTerminal.
• DB9 null modem or file transfer cable. (The correct cable will have
at a minimum, pins 2 and 3 crossed at the ends.)
• Firmware update files (3 files total with extensions of .s19)
!
CAUTION
Read all instructions before to attempting a firmware
download.
NOTE
Turn off the power management on your PC or laptop to ensure
that the communications port will not “go to sleep” during the
upgrade process and corrupt the firmware on the OpenComms
NIC.
