Downloading The File - Honeywell SLG 700 Option Manual

Downloading the File

The firmware file to be downloaded is called as Gendomain file and have the file extension .ffd.
File Name
The file name is constructed as follows:
"Manufacturer ID" + "_" + "Device Type" + "_" + "Domain Name" " + "_" +"Software Name" + "_"
+"Software Revision" + "." + "ffd", where:
Manufacturer ID is represented as six hexadecimal digits (leading and trailing zeroes are included).

Device Family is represented as four hexadecimal digits (leading and trailing zeroes are
included). For Multidomain devices, Device Family is replaced by Multidomain Family.

Device Type is represented as four hexadecimal digits (leading and trailing zeroes are
included).
Leading "0"s are not suppressed for Manufacturer ID and Device Type.


Trailing blanks are stripped from Device Family, Domain Name, Software Name, and
Software Revision.

If Software Name or Software Revision is composed of all blanks, then the underscore that
would have proceeded is omitted to prevent names with two adjacent underscores, or from
having the underscore character appear directly before the ".ffd".
For example, if the file contains the following header values:

Manufacturer ID = "48574C"

Device Type = "0007"

Domain Name = "FD-DOM"

Software Name = "FD_SW"

Software Revision = "2-41"
Then the file name would be:
"48574C0007_0007_FD-DOM_FD-SW_2-41.ffd".
