Table 4-6 Pinout for cable to upgrade Base station firmware
On the PC end, a female 9-pin D connector is used. Make sure that the data connections of
pin 2 to pin 3 and pin 3 to pin 2 are followed, and that pin 5 goes through to pin 5. Then short
pins 1, 4, 6, and 8 together on the PC end of the cable. The cable will now be ready to use
with the any upgrade files from the factory. Table 4-6 Pinout for cable to upgrade Base station
firmware gives the pin configuration for this cable. Table 4-7 Pinout for cable to upgrade
beltpack firmware shows the pin configuration for the cable used to upgrade beltpack
firmware.

4.8.2 Connecting using the LAN port
This connection is used for rapid firmware updates, as well as in the future for system
configuration and intelligent connection with the Eclipse digital matrix. It is wired as a standard
Ethernet connection.
The Base station has a fixed IP address. This can be found by selecting SYSTEM and then
INFO from the front-panel display menu. Refer to the chapter “FS II Toolkit” for more
information on using the LAN port to upgrade firmware.
