<strong>Update</strong>s via Instant Pilot (G4208A) 4<br />
<strong>Update</strong> Information for A.05.1x <strong>Firmware</strong><br />
Using the LAN/RS-232 <strong>Firmware</strong> <strong>Update</strong> Tool<br />
For detailes refer to “<strong>Update</strong>s via LAN/RS-232 <strong>Firmware</strong> <strong>Update</strong> Tool” on<br />
page 27.<br />
NOTE<br />
Use the LAN/RS-232 <strong>Firmware</strong> <strong>Update</strong> Tool 2.7 or above. Version 2.3 and below do not work<br />
with this procedure.<br />
NOTE<br />
If the Instant Pilot is in “Backward compatible mode ON”, it will not be seen by the<br />
LAN/RS-232 <strong>Firmware</strong> <strong>Update</strong> Tool. For updating firmware reconfigure the Instant Pilot to<br />
“Backward compatible mode OFF”.<br />
NOTE<br />
If your <strong>Agilent</strong> 1100/1200 system runs on firmware A.05.xx, the Instant Pilot is not<br />
recognized by the LAN/RS-232 <strong>Firmware</strong> <strong>Update</strong> Tool. In this case either one of the<br />
modules or the complete system must be upgraded to A.06.xx/B.01.xx.<br />
NOTE<br />
Before you downgrade the Instant Pilot to revision A.05.1x, upgrade the Instant Pilot to the<br />
latest B.xx.xx firmware revision. This will assure that the later upgrade from A.05.1x to<br />
B.xx.xx works smoothly.<br />
NOTE<br />
The prefered way of updating the Instant Pilot firmware should be the use of a USB Flash<br />
Drive. This is much faster than the use of the LAN/RS-232 <strong>Firmware</strong> <strong>Update</strong> Tool<br />
(4 minutes vs. 10 minutes via LAN vs. 70 minutes via RS-232).<br />
Use one of the following procedues:<br />
• “Downgrade from B.xx to A.05.1x” on page 108<br />
• “Upgrade from A.05.1x to B.xx” on page 108<br />
• “Upgrade from A.05.11 to A.05.1x (new build)” on page 109<br />
