16.4 Downloading application or loader software using TML
When downloading with TMA over a serial connection, you actually evoke TML (Telindus Memory
Loader) through TMA. You can also use TML without opening TMA.
To download application or loader software to the Telindus 1031 Router using TML, proceed as follows:
Step Action
1 Connect a serial port of your com-
puter (e.g. COM1) through a
straight DB9 male - female cable
with the control connector of the
Telindus 1031 Router.
2 Open a DOS window on your computer.
3 Go to the directory where the TML executable is located. Typically this is
C:\Program Files\TMA .
4 Place the software file you want to download in this directory.
5 Type the following command:
tml -c1 -v -b -fTxxxxxxx.00@CONTROL?my_pwd
where …
•
tml
is the executable (Telindus Memory Loader) to download files to the Telindus
devices through their control port.
•
-c1
specifies the COM port of the computer connected to the Telindus 1031 Router
(in this example COM1).
•
-v
returns graphical information on the download status.
•
-b
puts the Telindus 1031 Router in boot mode. This is only necessary when you want
to download loader software.
•
-fTxxxxxxx.00
is the software file you want to download (e.g. T1234001.00).
•
CONTROL
(in capitals!) specifies that the file being downloaded is an application or
loader software file.
•
?my_pwd
is the write access password as configured in the Telindus 1031 Router. If
no password has been configured, you may omit the ? and the password.
To see a list of all the possible TML options: type
TML
in your DOS windows and press
the ENTER key.
6 If you press the ENTER key, the software download begins.
If you used the -v option together with the TML command, a graphical bar shows the
download progress.
