The IPx 800 is delivered to the site with factory-loaded software on IMC8/IMC16 card.
The IMC8 card is a 8MB flash memory card. The IMC16 card is a 16MB flash memory
card. See Chapter 4 of the Control Card Installation Manual for details. The IMC8/IMC16
card is installed on the MCP-IPx2 card.
The software initialization procedure is described in
page 3-7, Common Control Test
.
The IMC8/IMC16 card contains three types of data:
„
Generic Feature Software Version and Boot Code
„
Authorization
„
Database Backup
The IMC8/IMC16 card can be inserted into a PC slot using any PCMCIA application
adapter for loading a new Coral software version.
Whenever an updated version of the IPx 800 software is released, the upgrade is
delivered to the sites either on a disk, e-mail, or via other electronic media file transfer.
The upgrade is contained in a self-extracting compressed file that is specific for the
site.
The upgraded generic feature software must be extracted by a PC using the FMprog
tool, and then written from the PC hard disk into the IMC8/IMC16 card. The FMprog
is a tool for Coral dealers who install, upgrade and maintain Coral systems using flash
memory cards. See the FMprog PC-Utility Reference Manual. This reference manual
describes how to install and operate the FMprog-Utility.
For instructions on how to save, restore, and backup using the IMC8/IMC16 flash
memory card, see Chapter 4.3 of the Coral Control Cards Installation Manual.
