Firmware upgrade of Engine and Accessories via
PRISMAsync (by FST)
Introduction
This topic describes the preferred procedure for an Field Service Technician (FST) to update
engine and accessories firmware.
To make sure firmware installed on engine and accessories is compatible with the PRISMAsync
software, the firmware files are distributed together with the PRISMAsync software and stored on
the PRISMAsync controller. By default the PRISMAsync checks the installed firmware on engine
and accessories at start-up.
It is also possible for a FST to do this manually. During a manual firmware update it is possible
for a FST to look at the detailed feedback of the upgrade. This may be necessary for
troubleshooting purposes. It is also possible to change the Upgrade auto setting and force an
overwrite of all firmware even if the same version is already installed. The procedure below
describes the manual firmware upgrade with software available on the PRISMAsync controller.
Before you begin
• Manual upgrade must be disabled (default)
