Upgrade Terminal Firmware
over the Network
You can upgrade firmware in a terminal that is connected to a computer over a
direct network connection. The network connection requires a computer that
is running the firmware upgrade wizard (FUW) and RSLinx Enterprise
software, version 5.0 or later.
RSLinx Enterprise software is required so that you can select the terminal on
the network.
Follow these steps to copy firmware files to the terminal over a network by
using RSLinx Enterprise software and Ethernet communication.

View>Tools>ME Firmware Upgrade Wizard.
2. Click ‘Upgrade firmware on terminal’ and click Next.
