Chapter 4. FLASH UPGRADING
4.1 Flash Upgrading via Internet
The KPA ISSPAs use ‘Flash memory’ technology internally, which makes upgrading the
firmware very simple. For current KPA-040/-080/-100 production models, updates can now be
sent via the Internet (Figure 4-1), via E
-mail, or on CD.
This chapter outlines the complete upgrading process as follows:
• New firmware can be downloaded via the Internet to an external M&C PC.
• The upgrade can be performed without opening the KPA by simply connecting the unit to
the serial port or Ethernet port of the M&C PC.
• The firmware update is transferred, via File Transfer Protocol (FTP), to the KPA.
