VFLASH Software 12-18
12.05.2 TRANSFER STATUS OF EXTERNAL FLASH PROGRAMMING SCREEN
When a serial link is used, this screen is displayed. It displays the transfer operation
status. It shows each step in progress:
1. The devices are erased (this may take some time).
2. The base system information is transferred, followed by the file data itself.
3. The data progress is displayed by XX% up to 100%. The actual file being sent is also
shown (unless a complete diskette copy is performed). In addition, the elapsed time of
the transfer is displayed.
If an error occurs during transfer, the system beeps twice to warn the user.
To signal the end of a successful transfer, a single beep is heard.
F
The transfer operation can be time consuming in Serial Mode due to the serial
transfer speed and protocol.
4. When the transfer is 100% complete, the following message is displayed:
Do you want to Reset the receiving system?
This software command is made available to restart the receiving system by remote. In
order for a new Flash disk to be recognized by the BIOS and DOS, the system must be
rebooted.
The receiving system can be put in Download Mode by any of the following options:
1. Short Pins 1 and 2 on jumper W19. This forces Download Mode at boot up.
2. Download Mode is automatically enabled when VT100 Mode is activated by shorting
Pins 3 and 4 on jumper W19. In this case, the communications port will recognize the
Download Mode commands and activate it.
F
Reset is the only way to exit from Download Mode which is forced on at setup by
the W19 (1-2) jumper. If Download Mode was entered by recognition of the code
sequence, you can simply exit Download Mode and continue processing.
