8. Place a new radio modem in the slot. Execute instruction items 1 to 7 backwards.

NOTE! Remember to configure the radio modem before placing it into MR-1000.

This allows you to start automatic controlling immediately after installations, without

a break in the network operation.

9. Slide the MR-1000 back to the cabin rack.

The radio modem firmware can be updated via the MR-1000 front panel DATA/DATA 1

port (depending on device configuration).

NOTE! This operation will break the data transfer until the FW-update is correctly

completed.

NOTE! Update progress is not possible when “Auto switch function” is activated.

Used example:

“flashupdate_3AS_NMS_4.0.13.28_VHF_NOdebug.exe” (Appendix A)

2. Start “SaTerm” terminal program.

3. Choose the modem to update by using MODBUS commands (correct virtual COM-

section “Remote modem switch”. Option: Use the “Manual”switch on the front

panel of the MR-1000 device to make a selection.
