Guide to Revise Firmware of VP200


NOTICE!!!
========================================================================================================
Care should be taken for updating FW2.16 or later to VP200 FlashMemory version. FW2.16 is not compatible with loader prior to etsmon.bin.19,
 this incompatibility will cause VP200 fail to boot. Loader should first be upgraded to etsmon.bin.19(or later). 
1. See A.1 & A.2 for checking the version of loader and the version of VP200. 
2. See A.1 & A.2 for updating loader to VP200.
3. See A.1 & A.3 for updating firmware to VP200

For FW2.16 and prioe version, we strongly recommend to use WCOMW as the only way to revise firmware, and after revision, remember to 
restore default factory settings.

A.1.2. Insert the Setup Disk come with VP200 into your floppy driver and copy all of those files to a directory of the PC and unzip
         the TeleWriter.zip.
A.1.3. Launch WCOMW.EXE on PC (double click on the icon of that file while you are in Windows File Explorer)
A.1.4. If you are using other COM port of your PC, please select it from File Menu.

A.1.6. When you see "Starting Loader..." in WCOMW, press ESC key in two seconds and a loader information and menu will be displayed, and if
         you failed to press ESC in 2 seconds, just restart VP200 to do it again. If you don't see "Starting Loader..." in WCOMW and the menu is 
         displayed directly, just go ahead.
