Note:
❏ In controlled environments, Flash memory upgrades provide a
very safe method for updating software. However, Flash products
may easily become damaged if this operation is left to
inexperienced persons. Units that become damaged due to misuse
will need to be sent back to your dealer who in such
circumstances, may charge for any necessary repairs. Therefore, it
is highly recommended that Flash memory upgrades are
performed by persons knowledgeable in this area.
Upgrading via the
Parallel Port
You should only need to upgrade the AXIS 200 via the parallel port if
it is impossible to download the software using FTP. Therefore, you
are strongly advised to talk with your local distributor prior to
commencing with the procedures defined below:
1. Disconnect the power supply and the other external connectors.
2. Remove the two screws securing the back plate of the enclosure.
3. Carefully remove the PCB assembly from the enclosure paying
particular attention to how the earthing clips are secured on either
side of the circuit board. It is essential that these clips are replaced
properly when re-assembling the AXIS 200.
4. Connect the parallel cable between the PC LPT1 port of your
workstation and the 26-pin array of the AXIS 200 circuit board.
Make sure the parallel cable connector is mounted with the arrow
close to pin 1, facing the ETRAX chip located in the middle of
the pcb.
5. Reconnect the power lead to the AXIS 200.
