6.3 Firmware Updating with FSMS (Field Service Manager)
(e-STUDIO350/450)
In this equipment, it is feasible to update the downloaded firmware from the PC connected with the
equipment by using the utility software"FSMS (Field Service Manager)". Firmware can be also down-
loaded through USB, in addition to an existing serial transfer through RS-232C.
This chapter explains only the firmware downloading method with FSMS. Refer to the Field Service
Manager Operator's Manual for the details about installation method and functions of FSMS.
OS:
Windows 98
Windows Me
Windows NT4.0
Windows 2000
Windows XP
Important:
• Updating with USB connection is more recommended since the data transfer speed is lower
and it takes more time to update in the serial connection with RS-232C cable.
Example:
* The updating time noted above is a reference. It may vary depending on the performance
of the PC used.
• Updating through USB is not feasible for Windows NT4.0 since this operating system does
not support USB. When this system is used, update in the serial connection with RS-232C
cable.
• When updating through USB (using FSMS), a printer driver needs to be installed in the PC in
advance. Refer to the Printing Guide about the installation method of the printer driver.
