When the message “Version warning” is displayed:
The following message may be displayed at the lower right of the screen if the
EST
and AP Editor were purchased at different times:
This message warns the user that one of the four components of the
EST
system
program is old and that some functions will not work. Those functions will mostly
be newly added functions that are supported by the current AP Editor.
This message does not mean that all the functions will not work.
For more detailed information, please refer to the following manual:
EST-ZSeries User's Manual Application Preparation,
Manual No.CP-SP-1088E

Touch the message
[Version warning!]
. The following screen will be
displayed:
The program component concerned is indicated with a red dot.
The above example shows that the IPL/BIOS Program is old.
The system program consists of the following four components.
1) F/W
: Main body of the system program.
Downloaded by AP editor.
2) IPL(IPL/BIOS) :This program activates the
EST
's originally contained
basic functions.
3) FONT
:Character font data and auxiliary program.
Downloaded by AP Editor.
4) MENU
:System menu program. Downloaded by AP Editor.
Since F/W, FONT, and MENU are downloaded by AP Editor, they are upgraded
automatically when the AP Editor is upgraded.
Handling Precautions
• IPL/BIOS has upward compatibility. Older program can be downloaded
into a new EST and the warning message will not necessarily appear.
(The warning message only appears in the case where there is an
incompatibility.)
• The version of IPL/BIOS cannot be upgraded by the user. If necessary,
please contact us.
