8.4.6 Xmodem Firmware Download <xdl>
The “
xdl
” command instructs the library to receive new TLS firmware via an object
file on the remote terminal computer using the XMODEM communications protocol. If
the transmission is terminated at the terminal emulator, the TLS will ignore the par-
tial download. Do not turn off TLS power while the update is in progress. If the entire
firmware object file is successfully downloaded, the TLS will reprogram itself and
then restart automatically.
Once the library restarts, the user will see the Qualstar Remote Library Control Panel.
8.4.6.1
Example of a download session
Enter the command “
xdl
”. The application will respond “
Receiving TLS
Firm-
ware
”, to indicate it is waiting for the user’s xmodem data.
