Firmware Downloading

This chapter describes how to download firmware by using the Hyperterminal method.

See “Using Library Status Tool” on page 2-18 for instructions on how to download

firmware by using the Library Status Tool method.

Firmware is factory-installed on all new libraries. The firmware resides within a Flash

PROM chip on the LLC card.

You must have one of the following cables and adapter/connector to download the

firmware from your PC to the LLC card:

• An RJ45 connector and Consultave Committee on International Telephany and

Telegraph (CCITT) cable (PN 41082890x)

• An RJ45—DB9 adapter (PN 10410823) or CSE DOS Diagnostic cable (PN

24100134)

The Hyperterminal method of downloading firmware (described below) is the only

method that you may use.

Notes: To use this method, the library must be fully initialized and the front door must

be closed.

Please read through this entire procedure before starting, because there is a two

minute time limit after step 5.

You perform two procedures to download firmware:

• Download the new firmware from the multi-platform support Web site at

http://mpss.stortek.com/ onto your PC

• Download the firmware from your PC to the LLC card
