Recovering the Firmware Using the Serial Port and DeviceInstaller

If for some reason the firmware is damaged, you can recover the firmware file by

using DeviceInstaller to download the *.ROM file over the serial port.

1. Start DeviceInstaller. If your PC has more than one network adapter, a message

displays. Select an adapter and click OK.

2. From the Tools menu, select Advanced/Recover Firmware. The Serial Port

Firmware Upgrade window displays.

3. For Port on PC, enter the COM port to which your are connected.

4. For Device Model, be sure the appropriate XPort device is shown (XPort-01,

XPort-03, or XP485).

5. For Firmware File, click the Browse button and go to the location where the

firmware file resides.

Note: Make sure the XPort on which you are recovering firmware is connected to this

selected port on your PC.

6. Click OK to download the file.

7. When prompted, reset the device. Status messages and a progress bar at the

bottom of the screen show the progress of the file transfer. When the file transfer

completes, the message “Successful, Click OK to Close” appears.

8. Click the OK button to complete this procedure.
