3.5 Upgrading the Wireless Field Interface device firmware
using the Engauge service tool
The Engauge service tool is used for upgrading the Wireless Field
Interface device firmware. For more information regarding the Engauge
service tool, refer to the Service Manual SmartRadar FelxLine.
Perform one of the following methods to upgrade the firmware based on
the boards which need to be upgraded:
1. The sensor boards (HCM-BPM, FII-SMV) can be upgraded through
the Engauge tool using the protocol tunnel.
2. HCI-1WL (CAN-1WL) board can also be upgraded through the
OneWireless user interface through the Application Firmware
Upgrade.
WARNING! The HCI-1WL (CAN-1WL) board should not be
upgraded using the Engauge tool. This results in the
Wireless Field Interface device dropping from the
network permanently and it also damages the card.
Considerations
Following are some of the considerations for upgrading the device
firmware.
 You can upgrade only the application firmware or radio firmware of a
device at a time.
 You can upgrade only the firmware of three devices simultaneously
from the OneWireless user interface.
 Starting the radio firmware upgrade operation of lower hop and upper
hop devices simultaneously, results in the failure of upgrade
operation of the lower hop device. When the devices are in different
hops, it is recommended to perform the upgrade of only one device
at a time.
 Upgrading the radio firmware of a device, which routes communi-
cation between other devices, results in communication failure .
To upgrade the Wireless Field Interface device firmware for the
cards using Engauge service tool
1. Double-click the module icon’s in the Engauge’s explorer, to select
each FlexConn module.
The board descriptor is then loaded with the tab pages. Select the
tab pages, to enter the settings of the specific module.
2. On the Engauge service tool explorer, select the required FlexConn
module on the left panel.
