Installing Firmware via I/O PORT 1 ______________________
The commands in this section represent the command set of the “INSTALL”
language. The “INSTALL” language is part of a highly-specialized set of
features used to erase the Receiver’s firmware, and to install a new firmware
revision. It should be selected only when firmware installation is required.
The “INSTALL” language offers the limited number of commands and queries
which are documented in this section. This set is designed to provide the
Receiver status and control capability required during firmware upgrade.
NOTE The SatStat program provides a Service menu which automates firmware
installation.
This command clears errors.
