You need to have a programmer to upgrade the AlertEagle unit in the field. The programmer unit pays for itself in the first use in avoiding unit downtime and shipping costs. One programmer will work with all Alert Eagle units. ***PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU LOAD THE CORRECT SOFTWARE INTO EACH ALERTEAGLE UNIT!!! The firmware is a simple text file. The programmer has excellent GUI software. There is a RJ-45 jack on each Alert Eagle unit for the other side of the programmer. Simply follow the instructions and download the new firmware into the unit. Make sure you cycle the power on the Alert Eagle unit after reflashing the firmware to make sure all changes are activated. All settings will restore to default on reflashing. For example, the relay on alert close time will reset to 1 minute and 30 seconds.
