Once the console has indicated that the gateway is ready to transmit the EDS
file, you again have 30 seconds in which to initiate the receive function of your
terminal emulation program before the gateway will timeout the transaction and
return to the main menu prompt. As in the point file case, you can use the
“receive” function in HyperTerminal by selecting the
icon and entering a
destination folder, transfer protocol and filename. To more easily distinguish
EDS files from point files, it may be convenient to create a filename with an
“.EDS” extension.
13.5.7 DNET-100 Information
Main menu selection number 7 displays a submenu with two key pieces of
information: the application firmware version and the current real-time clock
(RTC) date and time. The application firmware version information can be
used to determine if a newer firmware version is available for download from
www.iccdesigns.com (refer to section 15 for firmware updates).
The RTC setting can be changed by entering DNET-100 Information menu
selection number 1 with the additional argument of the clock string. The clock
string is a specially-formatted string encoded to sequentially contain the
information for the current month (mm), day (dd), year (yyyy), hour (hh), minute
(mm) and second (ss). The available ranges for the indicated fields are as
follows:
Month .......01 ~ 12 (= January ~ December)
Day...........01 ~ 31
Year..........1980 ~ 2116
Hour .........00 ~ 23 (= 12 AM ~ 11 PM)
Minute ......00 ~ 59
Second .....00 ~ 59
Note that except for the “year” field (which is four characters long) all fields
must be entered in as two characters (i.e. January must be entered in as “01”,
not just “1”). Also note that the hour field is displayed and must also be
entered in “military time” format (i.e. 9 PM is an hour value of “21”). Figure 31
shows an example of setting the RTC to January 10
