1.Setting up the ET-2200
Before updating the firmware, ensure that the network settings for both your host computer and any ET-2200
modules are correctly configured, or the update procedures via the Ethernet network may not function
correctly.
Step 1: Connect the ET-2200 to the same hub or the same sub-network as your Host PC, and
attach a power supply to the ET-2200. Do not connect the ET-2200 to a router or directly to
the Internet as this may cause the update process to fail.
Refer to “Chapter 5-Connecting the Power and the Host PC”in the ET-2200 Quick Start Guide for more
detailed information.
Download the Quick Start Guide.
Step 2: Download and Install the eSearch
Utility (version is v1.1.9 or later) on your
Host PC, and then run the Utility to search
for any ET-2200 modules connected to the
network.
Download the eSearch Utility.
Step 3: Configure the correct network
settings for the required ET-2200 module.
Refer to “Chapter 7-Configuring the Correct Network Settings”in the ET-2200 Quick Start Guide. If the IP
address settings do not work correctly, refer to note1 (Page 13) below.
Download the Quick Start Guide.

2.Firmware Update Procedure
Two methods can be used to update the firmware: “Local Firmware Update” (traditional) and
“Remote Firmware Update”(TeamViewer). The Local Firmware Update option requires the user to
manually adjust the position of the Init/Run Switch and reboot the module in order to initialize the of
firmware update. Refer to Section 2.1 “Local Firmware Update”for more details. The Remote
Firmware Update option 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 2.2 “Remote Firmware Update”for more details.

3. Troubleshooting
3.1 Firmware update in BOOTP mode
If the module is not functioning correctly (e.g., if there is no response to the search request, or if
the system LED is continuously either on or off), download a new image of the
firmware from the ICPDAS web site and then update the firmware for the module using the
following procedure.
Step 1: In the eSearch Utility, select the “BOOTP”item from the
“Server”menu. A check mark should be displayed next to the
item after it has been selected.
Step 2: Set the “Init Switch”to the “Init”position.
Step 3: Power-on reset the ET-2200 module and then click
the “Search Servers”button to search for the ET-2200 at
the same time. Note that there will delays of about 5
seconds while the ET-2200 module performs the BOOTP
search and updates the firmware when booting in Init
Mode. If this step is not successful, reboot the module and
execute the search again.

Step 4: Right click the “BOOTP”entry in the Name field and then select the “Firmware Update”
item from the popup menu.
Step 5: Refer to Steps 4 to 17 (Pages 2 to 5) in “Chapter 2-Firmware Update Procedure”for details
of how to complete the update process.
Step 6: After updating the firmware, disable BOOTP mode in the eSearch utility by again selecting
the “BOOTP”item from the “Server”menu. The check mark next to the item should be removed to
indicate that it has been disabled. Note that BOOTP mode will not function when searching for a
module in Normal mode.

4. Additional Information
The code contained in the boot loader, which is used to update the firmware image, is not part of
the firmware it-self. This means that the firmware can still be updated even if the built-in firmware
has been corrupted or does not exist. If the firmware update fails, simply execute the update
procedure again in BOOTP mode, as described in Chapter 3, and the update should be successful.
The ET-2200 series obtains the IP address assigned by the user and retrieves the firmware image
through the utility program. Note that when updating the firmware, the ET-2200 series uses the
factory-default MAC address rather than any user-defined MAC addresses. The ET-2200 has a
built-in flash protection feature that prevents any modifications from being made to the firmware
stored in the flash memory, so before attempting to update the firmware, the “Init Switch”should
be set to the “Init”position and then the ET-2200 can be Power-on reset to disable the flash
protection. Since the flash memory
then becomes writable, the firmware
can be updated via the Ethernet
network.
Notes:
Note 1: If the IP address settings do not work correctly (e.g. there is no response to a ping
command), contact the network administrator to obtain a valid IP address for the ET-2200
module. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. back
Note 2: If the settings displayed in the IP address field of the firmware update window is incorrect
or invalid (e.g., IP address: 0.0.0.0), a valid IP address must be manually specified for the ET-2200 in
order to process the update operation. Contact the network administrator to obtain a valid IP
address before proceeding.

Note 3: When updating the firmware, the factory-default MAC address is used rather than any
user-defined MAC address. Thus, the MAC address (user-defined) displayed in the firmware update
window may not be the one required. If this is the case, the factory-default MAC address should be
manually entered into the MAC Address field, or the MAC address should be restored to the
factory-default settings via the web configuration pages.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… back
Note 4: The “BOOTPREQ from MAC: xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx” message indicates there is a module with
the factory-default MAC address “xx-xx…” that is asking for the firmware to be updated. The update
process will not begin if a user-defined MAC address is assigned in the firmware update window,
since the addresses do not match. If this situation occurs, repeat the update procedure and
manually enter the factory-default MAC address in the firmware update window, as described in
Step 5 on Page 3. The firmware update procedure is illustrated in the figure below.

Note 5: The Bootstrap Protocol (BOOTP) is defined in RFC-951 and uses UDP ports 67 and 68.
Note6: The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is defined in RFC-1350
and uses UDP port 69.
