7.0 FIRMWARE UPDATES
The firmware in the OpenComms NIC card can be updated to take
advantage of the latest release of software that may contain feature
enhancements, new unit compatibility or service patches. The firm-
ware is updated through the OpenComms NIC cards’ serial port, using
a terminal emulation program like HyperTerminal in MS Windows
Operating Systems. This procedure has multiple steps and requires
that 3 files be downloaded to the OpenComms NIC card. The latest
firmware can be found at this link on the Liebert Web site:
