5.2.3. Uploading the Firmware
1. Once the unit has been placed into upgrade mode, the 5601MSC will print out an initialization
message and ask for the firmware file to be uploaded. Below is an example:
2. Send the new firmware .bin file using the XModem protocol (checksum mode). The file transfer
will take about 10-15 minutes depending on the speed of the PC.
3. When the transfer has completed, you should see a message stating “UPLOAD OK”. If for some
reason the transfer aborted or was cancelled accidentally you may see messages stating
“UPLOAD FAILED” or “NO PROGRAM”. In this case, enter the command “upgrade” and press
enter. Press “Y” to upload flash and resend the firmware .bin file using XModem.
4. On a successful upload, the unit should reboot automatically. If it does not, either power-cycle
the unit or enter the “boot” command. The unit will become operational after about 30 seconds
and the front panel becomes active again.

send filename a:\5601MSC.bin
. Where filename is the name of the file in
the computer, for example
send 5601MSC_2v5b4.bin A:\5601MSC.bin
. It is recommended to use the
hash command if in DOS command, to show activity. It will take about 6 seconds to send the
application. After it has been sent, enter

At this time, the 5601MSC will store the downloaded file into its flash memory, and reboot. It will take
about 3 minutes to store the application. During this time,
