the section that follows…
Conserve GS550 Configuration When Updating Firmware
The LSI Firmware Palm Software can conserve the actual (old) system configuration, including the
sensor list and radius parameters, when updating firmware in a GS550 display. When this option is
selected the Palm retrieves the configuration from the GS550 and saves it before sending the new
firmware. If a problem occurs during the firmware update, then the saved configuration file will be
displayed in the LSI Firmware Charts/Config list on the Palm. The configuration can then be
returned to the GS550 by following the instructions “Transfer Firmware Files from the Palm to a
GS550”

Step 2. Correctly align the infrared ports of the Palm and the GS550.
Step 3. On the Palm, press GetCfg. The GS550 will display “Transferring”. When the
transfer is complete the Palm generates a short musical alarm and a file with the name
