Learning the basics

The Easy Upgrade Utility lets you do the following:
• Download new system software and device descriptions to upgrade
your 475 Field Communicator at your site.
• Enable new functionality and applications by purchasing and
downloading new application licenses using the Online Licensing
feature.
• Upload Event Capture and ScratchPad files to your PC.
• Upload, download, and print HART device or user configurations
(.hcf files). Uploading configurations to the Easy Upgrade Utility lets
you back up these files.
• Manage the memory in your System Card by specifying which
device descriptions can be downloaded to your System Card.
Limiting the number of device descriptions will free memory on your
System Card.
• Assign a Unit Name to a 475 Field Communicator to uniquely identify
it, which is useful when connecting to a 475 Field Communicator
using Bluetooth.
See the Easy Upgrade Utility Help for more information on these
features.
Connecting the 475 Field
Communicator or System
Card
You can use three connection types to connect a 475 Field
Communicator to the Easy Upgrade Utility: IrDA, Bluetooth (if
licensed), or a supported card reader. The 475 Field Communicator
must be in Listen for PC mode to communicate through IrDA or
Bluetooth. See the AMS Device Manager Books Online for information
on supported connection types.
Certain connection types are required to transfer files or information
between the Field Communicator Easy Upgrade Utility and a 475 Field
Communicator. See
Table 2-2.
