CM554 QSC 8.3 ECM Reflash issue

[irontom10]

In Calterm 3, select Tools from the top menu, then click Unlock. This will open the Calterm Unlock utility.

Click Datalink and verify that the communication settings are correct. Once verified, return to the Unlock window and click Find Devices. The tool should detect 0x00 (hex) / 0 (decimal), which is typically Engine #1.

Next, click Display Current Status. Under Calibration Security, the ECM should report Locked. If it does, click Switch. This sends a special command over the datalink that instructs the ECM to enter Unlock Mode.

After the ECM has been unlocked, try flashing the calibration again.

If the flash still fails, troubleshooting becomes more difficult. Older ECMs can be extremely finicky about which E2M file is used during the flash process. In that case, there is a good chance you are using the wrong E2M file for the ECM.
