Bentel Security B3G-220 - USB Firmware Update and Settings Export

58 Universal Cellular Communicator
SSSSSSSS represents the communicator's serial number (8 hex digits), so that a single USB key can hold data for several different
communicators: each communicator will read/write to its own folder.
When a USB key is inserted into the communicator, the following procedure is executed:
1. Firmware update, if a valid firmware is in folder B_FW;
2. Communicator settings file export, if the file export.txt is in folder B_PROG;
3. Communicator settings file import, if the file import.txt is in folder B_PROG;
4. Communicator voice message export, if the file export.txt is in folder B_AUDIO;
5. Communicator voice message import, if the file import.txt is in folder B_AUDIO;
6. Communicator event buffer export, if the file log.txt is in folder B_LOG;
Firmware Update
This operation updates the communicator's firmware from a USB key.
1. Download the firmware from the site www.bentelsecurity.com.
The name of the firmware file has the format FWxxyyzz.bin where:
 FW identifies the file as firmware;
 xx is the higher revision number;
 yy is the lower revision number;
 zz is the test revision number;
 .bin is the extension for a binary file.
 DO NOT rename the firmware file, otherwise the communicator will not recognise it.
2. Copy the firmware into folder B_FW on the USB key.
3. Insert the key into the communicator's USB port.
If the communicator finds an invalid firmware in folder B_FW, the ACT LED will flash slowly and the event Firmware Upgrade
failed - System is logged to the event buffer.
If the communicator finds a valid firmware in folder B_FW, which is also different from its current firmware, it will install it.
 If more than one firmware file is in folder B_FW, the communicator will install the one with the highest revision number.
If folder B_FW contains a firmware which is less recent than the current one installed on the Communicator, it is installed
anyway: firmware updates allow you to install a more recent firmware or restore an older one than currently installed on the
communicator.
At the end of the process the communicator reboots and logs the event FW upgrade done - System.
in the event buffer.
Exporting settings
This operation exports the communicator's settings to a USB key.
1. Create the folder B_PROG on the USB key, if it is not already there.
2. Create a new text file in folder B_PROG and call it export.txt.
3. Insert the USB key into the communicator's USB port.
The communicator will export its settings to B_PROG\SSSSSSSS\EXPORT\eprognnn.bin, where:
 SSSSSSSS is the communicator's serial number;
 eprog is the prefix for a communicator settings file;
 nnn is an index from 001 to 999;
 .bin is the extension for a binary file.
The communicator will search the EXPORT folder for the settings file with the highest index and create a settings file with that index
