11.18 – Updating firmware
11.18.1 Introduction
The PMM 9030/9060/9180 features a simple and user-friendly method for
updating its internal firmware through a Personal Computer (PC).
This section provides all the information required for easy updating.
This procedure concerns the firmware updating of RF modules
9030/9060/9180 only.
11.18.2 System
Requirements
The minimum requirements to allow the software to operate properly are
the following:
• 486 Processor or Pentium
• 16 Mb of RAM
• at least 10 Mb of free space on hard disk
• 1 free Serial Port (RS-232), or, alternatively, a USB/RS-232 Adapter
with related driver
• Windows Operating System™ 95/98/2000/XP/Vista/Win7
The User must have administrator privileges to install the software in
Windows 7; right click on the program .exe file and click on “Run as
administrator” to temporarily run the program or application as an
administrator until close it (Windows 7 also allows to mark an
application so that it always runs with administrator rights).
11.18.3 Preparing the
Hardware
Turn off the PMM 9030/9060/9180 and connect the RS-232 cable directly
or through a USB/RS-232 Adapter separately purchased (once related
driver has been properly installed), to the 9 pin socket situated on the back
panel of PMM 9030/9060/9180 on one side and to a free RS232 port (or
USB in case of Adapter’s use) on the PC side.
The first free RS-232 port will be automatically detected by the Firmware
Update Program during installation. In case of troubles please check port
assignments on the PC through the Control Panel utility.
The firmware storing procedure does not require the optical link
between 9010 series and 9030/9060/9180.
11.18.4 Software
Installation
The 9030SeriesUp executable program is provided together with the PMM
9010 Receiver package, burned on a CD-ROM; anyway it’s always
possible to check for newer releases and download them from official
NARDA Italy Web Site Support page.
Once the 9030SeriesUp Setup has been installed in the PC, another item
is created in the Programs list at Start Menu, which is “PMM Emission
Suite”, from where the “9030-9060-9180 SeriesUp” program can be easily
run.
