How to Flash The DSX-LAN Module

WARNING!!!
If the DSX-LAN Module is powered down during the Flash update the unit will
be damaged and will require replacing

1. Make sure the WinDSX Database and Workstation Programs are not running.

2. Copy the DSXFlash.exe program, DSXFlash.hlp, DSXFlash.chm 
and the DSX-LAN VXX.DSX file (ie DSX-LAN V3.3.DSX) into the WinDSX folder.

3. Connect the RS-232 port of the DSX-LAN unit to a Serial Comm Port on the PC.
Wiring the DSX-LAN to the PC:

RX              Pin 3         Pin 2
GND             Pin 5         Pin 7

Power the module with 12VDC from a DSX Controller or other source.

4. Open the WinDSX folder and double click on KB2CW.exe. Select Comm Ports, Define Port and enter
the port number that the module is attached to. Accept all other defaults and click OK.

the unit will return the message: "Please Type Password followed by the Enter Key". Type in "123456"
and press Enter.

6. Verify the Firmware Version at the top of the displayed information. If the Version number
is below 3.1, the DSX-LAN unit will need to be returned to DSX for upgrading. Press X to Exit the

Navigate to the DSX-LAN VXX.DSX file within the WinDSX folder and click on Open.

9. Click on Setup, then select Comm Port. Set the Comm Port number

10. Click on Download, then Start. Once this is done,
the program will ask you if the relays are in the desired position. This does not apply to the DSX-LAN
unit. Click OK. The program will ask you if you want to update the firmware.
Click Yes to start the download or No to exit. Click OK  when asked to enter the Location Password.

11. The flashing of the firmware will start. This process will take about 3 minutes.
During this time the DSXFlash program will read "Downloading To Panel." 
The LED's (LAN TX, LAN RX, Heartbeat) will blink slowly on and off.
When the download is complete the LED's will blink rapidly and the unit will reset.
When the LAN TX and LAN RX  LED's stay on solid and the Heartbeat LED blinks once a 
second the updating of the firmware has been completed and the unit is ready for installation.
