Update Firmware
Terminal Firmware
Firmware components are packaged as execute-in-place (XIP) regions in one
system code (SC) .img file. When the SC .img file is copied to the virtual file

restarts automatically. These firmware components are affected during an
upgrade:
•FactoryTalk® View ME Station software
• Communication protocols and drivers including Kepware drivers
•Windows fonts
•Windows CE components
• FactoryTalk components
• User extensions
A firmware update does not affect these terminal components or settings:

loaded
(1)
in the terminal
• Network parameters including the network device name, DHCP-
enabled and static
(2)
IP addresses, speed, and duplex setting
