FIRMWARE UPGRADES

Both modules can be upgraded simultaneously by linking them together and then

connecting them to your computer using a USB type-A to mini-B cable.

IMPORTANT: During the upgrade process, do not remove power from either

module.

To enter upgrade mode

1 Onyourcomputer,downloadthelatestAdderLinkXD150upgradelefromadder.com.

2 Connect the local and remote modules together using a CATx cable, and power on

both modules. It’s not important whether any peripherals (if any) are attached to

either module.

3 Connect the local module to your computer

using the mini USB socket on the rear panel

and a USB type-A to mini-B cable (not

supplied).

4 On the front panel of the local module, use a small implement

or straightened paperclip to press and hold the recessed

reset button for approximately 10 seconds.

your computer as a mass storage

device with the volume label

‘FIRMWARE’.

earlier to the mass storage device that has the volume label ‘FIRMWARE’. Once the

local module has received all of the data, the front panel indicators of the local module

will chase from side to side to show that the upgrade procedure is underway.

6 Once the upgrade has been successfully completed both modules will reset

themselves and return to normal operation.

Errors during the upgrade process

If the upgrade process encounters an error then one or more of the indicators on the

1 Check that the CATx cable is correctly connected between the LINK sockets of the

local and remote modules and that power is applied to both modules.

2 On the front panel of the local module, re-press the recessed reset button for

approximately 10 seconds to re-invoke upgrade mode. The module should again

be declared on your computer as a mass storage device with the volume label

‘FIRMWARE’.

3 Follow step 5 above.
