Model No.
Running Head
Upgrades CPU Card
13. For a simplex system, load the inactive processor and the upgrade is complete. For a
duplex system, repeat steps 5 through 11 to load the new software into the ‘full’ bank.
14. Once the bank has loaded and the checksum has passed, once again press carriage return
and choose the actsw command. Confirm the switch.
15. On the newly active card, load the inactive processor bank. This will complete the upgrade
on this card.
16. Arrow to the “full” bank, and once again choose actsw to make this bank active and
switch to the other card.
17. On the newly active card, load the inactive processor bank. This completes the software
upgrade on this node.
18. Be sure to save a database backup in order to preserve the system settings.
7.7.3.3 XMODEM Protocol Binary Download
Follow the steps listed below to perform an XMODEM protocol bin download.
1. Set up a direct connection to the VT-100 craft port.
2. Locally connect the PC to the VT-100 craft port. Log into the system with the Superuser
password.
3. Highlight the active CPU and press “P”.
4. The binary buffer area appears, and one of the buffers displays in an active state. The other
buffer may be empty or may have a file in it. The kernel version on the lower half of this
screen indicates 7.0.0 with a checksum of 0x12A754.
5. If both buffers have files in them, highlight the buffer that is not active. Press the Enter
key and three options appear at the bottom of the screen. Using the arrow keys, highlight
the dnload (download) parameter and press Enter. The CPU will automatically erase the
existing load. Two parameters will appear at the bottom of the screen.
6. Using the arrow keys, select the XMODEM parameter and press Enter. The letter “C” will
begin duplicating across the screen. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
7. At the HyperTerminal screen, select file transfer and send the file. Choose the appropriate
binary file to download using the XMODEM1K protocol to BIN buffer 1 or 2, depending
upon which bin is empty. The binary file being downloaded must match the BIN number
into which it is loading, and the binary file will be marked with either a 1 or a 2
accordingly.
