Proflashing the vbOnline Device with New Firmware
New firmware will be made available from time to time, which can be downloaded to your PC from the Commtest website. To upgrade to a newer version of firmware you PROFLASH the device with the new firmware file (.hex extension). This is carried out within the Ascent software.
- From the main menu select Edit>Online Device Setup.
- Select a vbOnline device from the Online Device Setup Wizard then click Edit.
- Click the 'Setup' tab to display the PROFLASH option.
- Type in the pathname to the downloaded .hex file or use the
button to navigate to the correct location. - Click Proflash then follow the on-screen instructions.
Note: PROFLASHING the device takes approximately one minute. Do not interrupt the process as this will damage the vbOnline device. The program will prompt you when the PROFLASH is complete.
