This document is for FastPath system administrators. It contains a description of how to download VROM Version 5.1 to a FastPath 5 and K-STAR Version 9.1.2 to a FastPath 4 or 5 using the FastPath Manager Version 5.3.

Downloading Using the FastPath Manager
The FastPath Manager can be used to download VROM on FastPath 5s and to download K-STAR on both FastPath 4s and 5s, if the FastPath is not password protected.

Downloading VROM
