The two sets of DIP switches on the underside of the Model 3088 are
referred to as
S1
and
S2
. As shown in figure 3, the orientation of all DIP
switches is the same with respect to “ON” and “OFF” positions
Figure 3.

4.2 SYSTEM RESET MODE
System reset mode is entered by switching all DIP switches to the OFF
position and power cycling the unit. A VT100 emulator configured for
19,200 kbps/1 stop bit/ no parity/ XON-XOFF flow control can be used to
access the console. Upon restart, you will see the message
“Reset Mode”.
System reset mode provides two functions:
• Software upgrades
• Configuration reset to factory defaults
Software Upgrades
The software is upgraded by waiting for the “Reset Mode” message.
Then, the user can send an Intel HEX file supplied by Patton. After the
VT100 emulator has finished sending this file, the 3088 will respond with
a message stating how many errors were detected. The user may then
set the DIP switches to the desired configuration and power cycle the
unit to run the upgraded software.
