Equip your support PC with a SD Memory Card reader. The SD card provides the most
convenient method of updating the SPS-2000 application software and also can be used
for program loading/saving, capturing SPS-2000 screens for documentation purposes and
transferring bitmap images to the SPS-2000. (CRS supplies SD cards/readers: P/N
520000 - SanDisk SD 128mb card; P/N 520001- SanDisk SD 256mb card; P/N 520002 -
SanDisk Mobilemate SD+ 5-N-1 card reader/writer.)

recommends that you purchase SD cards from CRS.

SolarWinds.Net TFTP Server. This is a free program that can be downloaded from the
SPS-2000 dealer support page at www.crs-usa.com. With this program running on your
support PC connected to an SPS-2000 by LAN, you can access software updates from the
SPS-2000. The TFTP Server from SolarWinds will run on any Microsoft Operating
System including Windows 95, 98, NT, ME and Windows XP. (TFTP (
Trivial File
Transfer Protocol
) is a simple form of the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), provides no
security features, and is often used by servers to boot diskless workstations.)
