Manufacturing Link Mode
Manufacturing Link mode allows to exchange files between the module and a remote PC via
RS232 link. To do so the driver mfgdrv.sys should be loaded into PC memory. In this case the disk
drives of the CPB902 become available at the PC as logical units. The config.sys initialization
string for loading mfgdrv.sys into PC memory should look like this:
DEVICE=MFGDRV.SYS /BAUD=115K /PORT=COMn /UNIT=u
where:
PORT – PC COM port number (COM1, COM2)
UNIT – Module's disk drive, which will be available at the PC via COM port
(u=0 – disk A; u=1 – disk B; u=80 – disk C; u=81 – disk D etc.)
For example, if C: is the last PC disk drive, then in Manufacturing Link mode after mfgdrv.sys is
loaded with the following parameters:
DEVICE=MFGDRV.SYS /BAUD=115K /PORT=COM2 /UNIT=0
DEVICE=MFGDRV.SYS /BAUD=115K /PORT=COM2 /UNIT=80
the drives D: and E: corresponding to the devices A: and C: of the module will appear on the PC.
Manufacturing Link mode can also be used for formatting of the CPB902 disks and transferring of
MS DOS or FDOS 6.22 operating systems.
To format a CPB902 disk and transfer MS DOS operating system:
1)
Boot a PC with the operating system, which is to be transferred onto a CPB902
disk, and start the Manufacturing link mode;
2) On the PC enter the command
FORMAT Z: /S
where Z is a CPB902 drive name
3) Wait until the message "
System transferred
" appears.
To format a CPB902 disk and transfer FDOS 6.22 operating system:
1)
Establish a connection between CPB902 and a PC in Manufacturing Link mode;
2)
If Windows is running on the PC, enter the following command
LOCK Z:
where Z stands for a CPB902 disk name
3)
From FDOS system directory on the PC enter the next command
SYS Z: /F:. /C
4) Wait until the messages "
System transferred
" and "
COMMAND.COM
transferred
" appear.
