There are multiple methods possible for updating firmware on a SCADApack x70. The easiest way is to use RemoteConnect while connected either locally or remotely. Other methods include using Telnet. Telnet can be used with 3rd party applications such as PuTTY it can also be used with the integrated terminal program in Windows. See examples below for updating firmware with PuTTY or the Windows prompt.
