17.12.1.1 Upgrading Firmware
NOTICE: Manufacturer Access is required for firmware upgrade operations and when enabled, is
available for the completion of both controller and peripheral firmware upgrades. See Options on
page252.
Firmware for SPC is contained in two separate files:
l Controller Firmware File
Contains the firmware for the controller’s CPUs only. Filename has the extension *.fw.
l Peripheral Firmware File
Contains the firmware for the X-BUS nodes, plus PSTN and GSM modems. Filename has the
extension *.pfw.
The two files are upgraded separately.
NOTICE: It is recommended that all peripheral firmware is upgraded after a new controller
firmware upgrade.
Note: Firmware can also be upgraded using the keypad.

The following page is displayed:
2. Select the firmware file to upgrade by clicking the Browse button for the appropriate option,
selecting the required firmware file and then clicking on the appropriate Upgrade button.
