Load a file from the local computer
The “Load file” function brings up the file dialog box displaying the content of a user’s local
computer. Change to the proper directory and select the file. Double click the file name or click the
“open” button of the file dialog box to load the file. The information of the loaded file is displayed
in the corresponding text fields as discussed in the previous section. The application sends a “file
load OK” message upon completion of loading the file.
Send a file to the RM-4
The “Send file” function sends the currently loaded file to the RM-4. Before sending the file, the
operator is prompted to confirm that he/she actually wants to send the specified file to the selected
partition. If the parameters are wrong, select “Cancel” to quit the process. Otherwise, select “Yes”
to proceed.
Test the program code
The “Test code” function asks the RM-4 to test the other program code, which is not currently
running. The user interface prompts the user to confirm the code to be tested. If confirmed, the
RM-4 tests the code. The user will see a message that the RM-4 is rebooting. If successful, the
operator should send “Set as default” command to set the tested code as the default program.
Set as default
The “Set as default” function asks the RM-4 to set the currently running program code as the
default. The RM-4 always uses the default program code when it reboots.
Reboot RM-4
A user can reboot the RM-4 at any time. On rebooting, the RM-4 uses the configuration in the flash
and the default program code. For example, after performing a successful configuration update
using the Submit Config action, but
prior to performing a Commit Config action, the user can
restore the previous configuration of the RM-4 if he/she finds the current configuration is not
better than the previous one. Click on the “Reboot” button to ask the server to reboot, using the
configuration currently stored in the flash memory.
