Upgrade Firmware
Chapter Objectives
This chapter provides topics on how to upgrade firmware in the terminal.
• Prepare for firmware upgrade
• Upgrade firmware using ControlFLASH
• Upgrade firmware using a removable storage device
The firmware upgrade runs an executable script on a removable storage device
such as a USB flash drive or a micro-SD card that copies a firmware image into
the flash memory of the terminal.
Prepare for Firmware
Upgrade
Follow these steps before starting a firmware upgrade.
1. Backup applications and library objects from the terminal.
The PanelView Explorer feature is only supported on PanelView
800 terminals with firmware revision 2.020 or earlier. It is not
supported from firmware revision 3.011 onwards.
From firmware revision 3.011 onwards, the terminal must not
be in Protected Mode when performing a firmware upgrade. For
more information, see Protected Mode
on page 143.
When you perform a firmware upgrade, your terminal
password, VNC settings, and port settings will all be cleared
and reset to their default configuration.
Terminate the VNC connection before performing a firmware
update as it may interfere with the process.
