Uploading and Upgrading
The installer should use the latest programming software and ensure that each device
contains the latest firmware to take advantage of the most recently released features.
However, before attempting to upload or upgrade it is necessary to establish
communication. Once communication has been established, files (for example,
programs, projects or firmware) can be transferred to the control system (and/or
device). Finally, program checks can be performed (such as changing the device ID
or creating an IP table) to ensure proper functioning.
NOTE: Upgrades should be performed only by the installer.
Establishing Communication
NOTE: For PCs running Windows 2000 or XP, ActiveSync 4.5 or later is required
for Toolbox to communicate with the MTX-3 via USB to upload firmware and
display lists. Download and install ActiveSync from the Microsoft Web site
(www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-synch.mspx).
PCs running Windows Vista or 7™ require Windows Mobile Device Center™ for
communication with Toolbox. Download and install Windows Mobile Device Center
(WMDC) from the Microsoft Web site
(www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx
).
