Upgrading the Firmware
The terminal firmware includes these items:
• TRAKKER Antares 2400 Menu System
• Terminal emulation or sample application
• TE Configuration Menu (3270, 5250, VT/ANSI terminals only)
• Operating environment, firmware, and drivers
You can upgrade a terminal to use the latest firmware version (2.x or higher) without
making any hardware changes. There are two upgrade kits:
Firmware Upgrade Kit Part Number Description
TRAKKER Antares TCP/IP 066814S Order this kit for terminals that
communicate in a TCP/IP direct
connect network or a TCP/IP
pass-through network.
TRAKKER Antares UDP Plus 067119S Order this kit for terminals that
communicate with a DCS 300
in a UDP Plus network.
You can order either kit for the T2420. To order a firmware upgrade kit, contact your
local Intermec service representative. Each kit comes with a utility and instructions to
upgrade the firmware on the terminal. Once you upgrade to the new firmware, you can
use all the features described in this manual.
Each kit comes with the new firmware version, the applications, the firmware upgrade
utilities (DOS and Windows), and instructions about upgrading the terminal firmware.
You can upgrade the firmware on the T2420 or the T2425 from a host computer or PC
using serial communications. You connect the terminal’s serial port to the host or PC by
using one of these accessories:
• Communications dock
• Optical link adapter
• Serial interface module
For help connecting the terminal, see “Using Serial Communications on the Terminals” in
Chapter 4. Once the terminal is connected, you can upgrade the firmware.
Note:
You can also upgrade the firmware on one or more terminals using the Firmware
Upgrade Utility on the DCS 300. For help, see the
DCS 300 System Manual
