Firmware File Types (.fls) and (.exe)
Using firmware with an .exe extension FILENAME.exe is convenient. However, firmware with the .exe
extension may not be available in all
situations. Download methods described in Table 11 which require
the .fls
extension, FILENAME.fls, is required (e.g., Windows Drivers and Web Page).
The FILENAME.fls file can be extracted from the FILENAME.exe file by
executing the command in a
Windows Command Prompt session:
FILENAME<Enter>
This will extract the FILENAME.fls file in the same directory where
FILENAME.exe was executed.
IMPORTANT Be sure to copy the FILENAME.exe file to your computer’s local drive before
executing commands in the Windows Command Prompt.
