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.

Step 1: Transfer the Firmware File to the RTU

1. Open RemoteConnect and connect to the SCADAPack x70 RTU via USB.
2. Enable the Telnet Service on the device.

3. Go Online with the device and write the program to the SCADAPack x70 RTU.
4. Right-click on SCADAPack x70 Controller Settings – DeviceDTM, then go to:
   • Additional Functions > Write File to Device
5. In the Write File to Device window:
   • Click Browse, locate the firmware file (e.g., 9114e47x.fwz), and click OK.
   • Wait for the file transfer to complete.

Step 2: Apply the Firmware Patch Using PuTTY

1. Open PuTTY and connect to the RTU using the USB IP address: 10.2.3.4.

2. Type the command: DIR

• This verifies that the firmware file exists on the device.

3. Type the command: RESTART PATCH 9114e47x.fwz

4. Wait for the firmware patch to complete. The PuTTY session will disconnect automatically.
5. Reconnect using PuTTY and type: VER

• This displays the updated firmware version.

Step 3: Apply the Firmware Patch Using Windows Command Prompt

1. Open Windows Command Prompt and type: Telnet 10.2.3.4

• This will connect to the SCADAPack x70 RTU.

2. Type the command: DIR

• This verifies that the firmware file is present.

3. Type the command: RESTART PATCH 9113e47x.fwz

• Replace 9113e47x.fwz with the actual firmware file name.

4. Wait for the patch to complete. The connection will be lost.
