Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems 861 Firmware Upload Problem

I am attempting to uplaod the latest formware to my 861 (V4)

When I load the firmware upload software and I request to identify the hardware I receive a positive response.

However, when I begin the upload I am asked to turn 861 off then then on.. I do this but unfortunately upload will not proceed

I have tried this a number of times with no success

I have not participated in forum for a couple of years so excuseme if this question has previously been answered

Thanks

Tony;

How are you turning the 861 off and on, via the front panel standby switch; or the back panel hard power off?

Cheers,

Via hard power button on rear of unit..

tony:

Try the front panel off/on then; see if that works. I thought it was the back panel power that was required; but it has been a while.

It's possible that your serial port isn't properly recovering from the power cycle to detect the availability.

Best,

Tony,

Does your PC have a native RS232 serial port or are you using a USB to Serial adaptor?

If you are using a USB to Serial adaptor then you are best using the 'Keyspan' this model is well proven for use with M. equipment.

You need to cycle the power switch on the rear panel.

Cheers

USB to Serial Adapter ( Dolphin)

I will order Keyspan adapter and see how I go.

Thanks for suggestion

Keysapn USB to Serial did the trick.. Now working perfectly

Thanks for help guys
