DT85 upgrade firmware by FTP

I have remote access to a DT85 with S/N 106343 and firmware version 9.18. Due to flash expiry I can no longer access the web interface via a local raspberry pi, however I can access via FTP. My questions are:

  1. What is the series of DT85 corresponding to this serial number?
  2. How can I upgrade the firmware over FTP?

Thanks in advance.

Hi lukeb,

DT85 s/nL 106343 is a series 3 logger; you can trigger a firmware upgrade over FTP:

  1. Please download the USB version of the firmware, then extract firmbare.bin and loader.s
  2. Copy and paste those two files into the dataTaker FTP server (main/ root) directory.
  3. Get connected to the logger via command interface software (i.e.: DeTransfer, Putty, Telnet, Hyperterminal, Realterm) and send !bootit command.

Best regards,
