FIRMWARE UPDATE PROCESS THROUGH E SNAKE CONTROL

Follow these steps to update the firmware in the E Snake Frame (ESF).

NOTE: Be certain that power is not interrupted during the entire update procedure unless you
are instructed to do so.
1. Insert a CD containing the update files or download the files from the Whirlwind website to a folder on
your PC. These files are:

· DSMO_ReplaceUpdater_V1_x_x_xxxxxx.s19
· DSMO_MICRO_V1_x_x_xxxxxx_encrypted.s19

(Note: Numbers indicating the version will replace the “x” characters in the filenames.)

You will also need to provide an E Snake preset data file (.WDS file extension) that contains the
properly configured architecture for the units that require the firmware update.

2. Start E Snake Control without loading a preset file. This may be accomplished by clicking <Cancel>
when the initial “History List” screen appears at startup.

3. Select <Firmware Updater> from the <Configuration> menu.


4. Note: If a .WDS preset data file is active, you will see a prompt, “In order to run the Firmware Updater,
you have to close previously opened preset data file. Do you want to proceed?” Click <Yes> to close
the preset data file.
5. The Firmware Updater screen appears.
In the “Firmware Options” area of the screen, enter the following:
In the “Preset Data File” box, type (or use the <Browse> button) to provide the location of the
preset data file that contains the units that you want to update.

In the “Firmware Image File” box, type (or use the <Browse> button) to provide the location of the
“DSMO_ReplaceUpdater_V1_x_x_xxxxxx_encrypted.s19” file.
6. Click the <Update> button. The firmware update process begins. The “Frame Progress” bar indicates the
progress on the current ESF. The “Overall Progress” bar indicates the progress for all frames. When the
“Overall Progress” bar is filled, the updated firmware code has been sent to the units.

Look at the LCD screens on each ESF. You should see "Updater Running" on the LCD. If you don't see this,
wait a minute and cycle power to the unit.
7. With "Updater Running" displayed on the ESFs’ LCD screens, you are now ready to upload the rest of
the firmware. On the PC, replace the contents of the “Firmware Image File” box with the location of the
“DSMO_MICRO_V1_x_x_xxxxxx_encrypted.s19” file.
8. Click the <Update> button and observe the progress bars. When finished, all the ESFs in the architecture
should now have the latest firmware.

Close the Firmware Updater window.
