** Upgrade Notes - Migrating From 1.00 Build 119 (or Previous) **
=================================================================
If you are currently running firmware 1.00 Build 119 (or previous) the way in
which the configuration is stored on non-volatile flash has changed.  This
means the configuration of previous firmware revisions cannot be used.  The
steps below detail how to conduct the firmware upgrade.

If A DHCP Server Is Present
===========================
1) with the "old" firmware, use hyperterminal (or similar) to access the serial
   port and capture the current configuration settings to a text file
2) using FTP, upload this release of firmware
3) once the firmware is transferred close your FTP session to allow the
   firmware to be saved to flash
4) when the firmware has been saved to flash, power off the PTX
5) with the toggle switch held up, power on the PTX
6) release the toggle switch when 'CLRF' appears on the LCD
7) reconfigure according to the file captured in step 1

If A DHCP Server Is Not Present
===============================
1) with the "old" firmware, use hyperterminal (or similar) to access the serial
   port and capture the current configuration settings to a text file
2) using FTP, upload this release of firmware
3) once the firmware is transferred close your FTP session to allow the
   firmware to be saved to flash
4) when the firmware has been saved to flash, power off the PTX
5) with the toggle switch held up, power on the PTX
6) continue to hold up the toggle until the status LED changes from red to
   green, this will put some default network setings into flash and allow you
   to get access to the user menu right away
7) reconfigure according to the file captured in step 1
