Required Support Resources 

 

A PC with a network connection and USB port available to download new software. 

 

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.)  
 

NOTE

:  SD cards must be formatted as FAT 32.  To avoid compatibility issues, CRS 

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.)   

 

Depending upon the method you are using to update the SPS-2000, download the 
appropriate files from the SPS-2000 dealer support page at
