UPGRADING THE FIRMWARE
Upgrading FocusBT Firmware via the Access Point Device
With MetroSet2, scanner firmware upgrades can be accomplished through the
communication link between the access point device and scanner. This feature
is not supported in scanners using the CodeXML protocol. The scanner
must be in Metro protocol mode.
Do not use the standard cable supplied with Keyboard Wedge, USB or
RS485 Access Point interface kits for firmware upgrades. If using
RS232 for the upgrade process, the standard RS232 cable provided
with the scanner can be used.

1. Plug the unit into a serial communication port on the host system.
