VRC2100 Vending Reader

Installation Guide
4.4 Firmware Update
The VRC2100 must first be powered up and the network port configured
as described in sections 3.1 through 3.5 of this guide, as appropriate,
before proceeding with the following instructions.
In a functioning daisy-chain, each reader must be updated individually.
There are two processors on the VRC2100, each requiring different
firmware.
If you load the wrong firmware on one of the processors, the
reader will become unresponsive and will need to be returned to the
factory for repair. This issue can be somewhat prevented by looking at
the name of the firmware hex file. If updating P1, the file name must
contain P1 (the same applies to P2).
Use the following procedure to upgrade the firmware:
1.
On the
VRC2100 Flash Updater
tab of the
VRC2100 Flash
Updater and Configurator
screen, enter the IP address of the
individual reader to be updated in the
I.P. Address
field. The IP
address can usually be found on the bottom of the nameplate on the
back panel of the reader. In a daisy-chain group, use the IP address
of the Master.
2.
Enter the terminal server port number of the individual reader in the
Port #
field. In a daisy-chain group, this is the port number of the
Master.
