30 FIRMWARE UPGRADE PROCEDURE
The processor comes from the factory with the most recent firmware installed just prior to shipping. When
required, the firmware can be updated with the latest available version using standard Windows procedures.
After an initialization of the device (firmware upgrade), all user presets and adjustments are
erased and/or overwritten by the new factory setup! Please make a note of Yr current,
customized software presets before proceeding with the firmware upgrade.
When upgrading the firmware, do not forget to install the new associated software version of PC remote
control. There is a direct correspondence between the firmware and software versions.
For example, the rel. 3.0 of Pc software requires the firmware version 3.0 installed on the processor and
viceversa.
More precisely, the two first digits must match, as possible sub-releases (identified by the third digit) are
not involved in the firmware/software compatibility.
As general rule, software version X.Y.Z runs with firmware version X.Y.K
In order to upgrade the processor, please follow this procedure:
1) MAKING THE PROCESSOR READY FOR UPGRADING
A) shut off the unit and disconnect the AC Main cord
B) remove the equipment cover and the guarantee labels. Note: inform the manufacturer of seal breaking, as it is strictly
related with general warranty conditions.
D) Connect the processor’ SERIAL port 1
to that of the Host PC. Please insert (or remove) the serial connector only
with processor turned off
. A regular (i.e. not crossed) 9 pole serial RS 232 cable is required.
E) set the jumpers JP1, JP2 and JP3 of the IperDasp board (right hand board), and CN5 and CN6 of the I/O MPX
board (left hand board) to their ON / PROG position. Jumpers are located on the board front sides, toward the
processor’s front panel.
