SimonB Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 I could do with a favour from someone who has an Emanage and the support tool data cable. I just installed my Emanage along with my Profec E01 boost controller, which has a feature to update the firmware on the Emanage before you can use it. It looks like the version on my Profec is a bit dodgy, because after downloading it to the Emanage the activity light flashes red-orange-green continuously and no longer works. I think it's in limp home mode. Anyway, I think what I need to do is download the latest firmware to the Emanage from a laptop, which will hopefully sort it out. I haven't got the support tool cable though, is there someone that can lend me theirs so I can update the firmware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonB Posted August 24, 2004 Author Share Posted August 24, 2004 For future reference if anyone else comes across this problem, Cliff kindly lent me his cable and I downloaded the latest firmware from a laptop which sorted this out .

Jake Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Is it some special cable then? Not a standard USB/Serial one or anything nice and simple like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted August 24, 2004 Author Share Posted August 24, 2004 Unfortunately not, it has a chip in one end. I think they did it to stop people using any old cable and copying the software. You have to buy the support tool which comes with the cable. I've found a couple of guys making clone cables now - one direct replacement and one USB-USB jobby (if you try and use a normal USB-USB it blows up the Emanage, so best not to try that one!). I've ordered one of the USB-USB ones in case I need to do anything like this again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
