3. If there is not enough Reader memory, delete an older, inactive version of the firmware (see Deleting
firmware, page 245).
4. Click the Browse button to select the new firmware file saved on the computer.
5. Click the Upload and Verify Software Update button, then click Yes to confirm.
Result: The firmware will upload from the computer to the Reader. After the firmware has finished
uploading to the Reader, the firmware appears in the table of available firmware versions as INACTIVE.
To begin using the new firmware, activate the firmware (see Activating new firmware).
Activating new firmware
The currently active firmware version becomes inactive once another firmware version is activated. All
numbered callouts in parenthesis refer to Error! Reference source not found..
The following procedures outline the steps for activating an inactive firmware version stored on the
Reader.
Prerequisites: You must have Software Management permissions.
The primary and secondary sides of the Reader are running normally.
The required firmware is uploaded to the Reader (see New firmware , page 241).
CAUTION:
Activating inactive factory firmware on a running system is not
recommended. The factory firmware may not be appropriate for
the specific application.
CAUTION: Redundant Reader
During firmware activation (typically less than 60 seconds) the
Reader will switch over to the other side to process and report
transactions, regardless of the position of the mode switch on the
SPM module. Ensure that the other side is running normally and
all lane controller links are functioning. The Reader will be unable
to process or report transactions if it is unable to switch over to
the other side.
CAUTION: Non-Redundant Reader
During firmware activation (typically less than 60 seconds), a non-
redundant Reader is unable to process or report transactions.
