33.6 Flash Upgrade

	*33.6 Flash Upgrade*

The upgrade is made possible by one of two options, dependent upon the type of product you have.

Flash Upgradable

If you have a desktop or NB 34 modem (with a maximum speed of 28,800 bps) and a CE mark on the BABT approval label (found on the underside of the modem), then you can upgrade your modem yourself by downloading a "flash" upgrade utility from this site.
Shown opposite are examples of where to look for the CE mark which will determine whattype of upgrade your modem will require.

Chargeable Return to Factory Upgrade

If your modem does not have the CE mark, or is an internal modem, then you will need to return your product to the factory for EPROM upgrade. This will incur a charge of 30 pounds UK + VAT, to cover labour and return postage. If you wish to return your modem for upgrade you must first contact us for a Returns Authorisation Number. To do this use the Contacts page to contact Pace Technical Support.

Yes, my modem is flash upgradable. What next?

You need to download a program to run on your PC compatible which will allow you to update your modem. This program is available from this page and is called UPGRADE.EXE. Once you have downloaded and installed the upgrade, you should run the program called FLASHUP.EXE and follow the on-screen instructions.

To download the upgrade file, UPGRADE.EXE, click here

IMPORTANT: When the Save As... dialog box opens, select a location on your PC to save the file. Make sure that you note this location, because you will need to find the file to install the software.
Take care to follow the upgrade recommendations carefully to ensure a successful outcome.

What do I do when I have downloaded this file?

Disconnect from the Internet: Close your connection to your Internet Service Provider (you can't upgrade your modem while it is in use!).

Install the Upgrade: Double click (or otherwise run) the newly downloaded UPGRADE.EXE file to start the installation.

Perform the Upgrade: If you are running Windows the actual update program FLASHUP will start automatically. If not then you should run this program manually. Either way, just follow the on-screen instructions to complete your upgrade.
