Loading New Firmware
Base and Rover receivers must be loaded with the same firmware version. Use
the latest firmware version, available for download from the JNS website, to
ensure your receiver has the most recent updates.
The Maxor uses FLoader, a Windows®-based utility, to load firmware onto the
receiv
er and power boards. You can download FLoader to your computer from
the JNS website (http://www.javad.com). For more information, refer to the
FLoader User's Manual, also available on the JNS website.
1. Download and install FLoader, if applicable.
2. Download the new firmware package to your computer.
3. Physically connect your receiver and computer using the RS232 cable.
