application firmware file inside a .zip ar-
chive file. While the firmware file inside of
the zip file will adhere to the naming con
-
vention required by the Model 5205, the
name of the zip file itself will include the
file’s version number. For example, a file
named m5205v1r2MCU.zip would indicate
that version 1.2 of the application firmware
(m5205.bin) is contained within this zip
file. Once the USB flash drive is inserted
into the USB interface, the unit powered
off and again powered on, the file will auto-
matically load. The precise steps required
will be highlighted in the next paragraphs
of this guide. After the firmware has been
updated the two LED level meters should
be used to confirm that the desired applica-
tion firmware version has been successfully
installed.
To install the application firmware file
follow these steps:
1. Remove power from the Model 5205.
This will entail removing the Ethernet
connection that is providing PoE power.
2. Ensure that nothing is present in the
USB port. Then again apply power to
the unit and “read” the currently loaded
application firmware version during the
power-up sequence using the two level
meters. (Refer to the Application Firm
-
ware Version Display paragraph earlier
in this section.) Record the version
number for later reference.
3. Remove power from the Model 5205.
4. Insert the prepared USB flash drive into
the Model 5205’s USB port, located on
the back panel of the unit.
5. Apply power to the Model 5205. Power
is provided by Power-over-Ethernet
(PoE) associated with the connected
Ethernet signal.
