1. Setting up the ET-2200 Series

Before updating the firmware, please ensure that the network settings for both your host computer and any
ET-2200 series modules are correctly configured, or the update procedures via the Ethernet network may not
function correctly.

Step 1: Connect the ET-2200 series to the same hub or the same sub-network as your Host
PC, and attach a power supply to the ET-2200 series. Do not connect the ET-2200 series to a
router or directly to the Internet as this may cause the update process to fail.

Please refer to “Chapter 3-Connecting the Power and Host PC” in the ET-2200 Quick Start Guide for more
detailed information.

Download the Quick Start Guide.

Step 2: Install the eSearch Utility on your
Host PC, and then run the Utility to search
for any ET-2200 series modules connected
to the network.

Download the eSearch Utility.

Step 3: Configure the correct
network settings for the required
ET-2200 series module.

Please refer to “Chapter 4-Configuring Ethernet Settings” in the ET-2200 Quick Start Guide. If the IP address
settings do not work correctly, please refer to note1 (Page 18).

Download the Quick Start Guide.

2. Firmware Update Procedure

The firmware update can fail when the computer has multiple network interfaces (e.g., LAN and Wi-Fi).
Therefore, enable only one network interface for updating the firmware, and temporarily turn off other
network interfaces, firewalls, and anti-virus software first.

2.1 ET-2200 Firmware Update

Two methods can be used to update the firmware: “Local Firmware Update” (traditional) and

“Remote Firmware Update” (TeamViewer). The Local Firmware Update method requires the user to

manually adjust the position of the Init/Run Switch and reboot the module in order to initialize the
firmware update. Refer to Section 2.1.1 “Local Firmware Update” for more details. The Remote
Firmware Update method allows the user to initialize the module via a web interface without
needing to adjust the hardware switch. Initialization via the web interface is useful when the module
is installed at a remote site and can be accessed via the TeamViewer application installed on a
remote PC. Refer to Section 2.1.2 “Remote Firmware Update” for more details.

2.1.1 Local Firmware Update

Step 1: In the eSearch Utility, click the “Search Servers” button to search the for any ET-2200
modules connected to the network . (The network settings of the ET-2200 module as described
in Step 3 on Page1)

Step 2: Right click on the
name of the ET-2200 module
to be updated.

Step 3: Select the “Firmware

Update” item from the popup

menu and the “Open” dialog
box will be displayed.

Step 4: In the “Open” dialog box, select the firmware file (ET2200.dat) that will be used
to update the module and then click the “Open” button.

Download the Firmware File.

Step 5: Assign a valid IP Address (can be different with the current IP) and the

factory-default MAC Address for the ET-2200 module. If this IP address is invalid (e.g. IP

Address: 0.0.0.0) or a user-defined MAC address is assigned. Refer to note 2 (Page 18) and

note 3 (Page 19) for more details.

Step 6: Click the “OK” button.

Step 7: You are now ready to update the firmware. A Command Prompt windows will
be displayed the progress of the update.

Step 8: Set the “Init Switch” on the ET-2200 module to
the “Init” position.

Step 9: Power-on reset the ET-2200 module in “Init Mode” to initiate the update.

Step 10: Confirm that the two MAC addresses (factory-default) listed in the Command Prompt
window, “Waiting request from MAC x.x.x.x” and “BOOTPREQ from MAC: x.x.x.x”, are the
same, as indicated in the image below. If these addresses do not match, the update cannot
proceed. Refer to note4 (Page 19) below for more details.

Step 11: Once the update is complete (i.e., when
the progess indicator reaches 100%), set the “Init

Switch” to the “Run” position.

Step 12: Power-on reset the ET-2200 module to

operate the module in “Run Mode”.

Step 13: In the eSearch Utility, search for the ET-2200 module again to verify that it is
functioning correctly. Note that the network settings for the module may need to be

reconfigured after updating the firmware. Refer to Step 3 in Chapter 1 above for more
details.

Step 14: Click the name of the ET-2200 module to highlight it.

Step 15: Click the “Web” button and the default web browser will be opened.
