Firmware Updates
Firmware updates will be sent to you periodically by Stanley Technical Support.
You can upload these firmware files to your database by using the System Admin-
istrator Application, and then you can send the updates to your hardware from
the Configurator’s Firmware Tab. This section will guide you through the firmware
update process.
Firmware File Types
Every Controller has two firmware files:
 Application File: Software that provides the access control decision-making
functionality on a Controller
 Bootloader File: Software that executes the reprogramming session on the
Controller
The application file is what is typically reprogrammed by the Stanley Team, but it
is possible that the bootloader file will require reprogramming as well. Controller
firmware files will always have a “binhe” file extension.
For Portal Gateways, only one file is required for reprogramming, and the file
name begins with the version number and ends with “image.bin.gzhe.”
Uploading Firmware Files
1 In the System Administrator application, choose Firmware Manager from the
Import list on the right. The Manage Firmware Files dialog box opens.
