1) Plug the DB-25 male connector into the port labeled "Remote" on the back of
the Screen Pro unit.
2) Make sure the other end of the cable is attached to the available COM port on the
back of the computer performing the upgrade.
3) In the loader program, click on the Configuration Menu and select RS232 Setup.
4) In the RS232 Config->COM Port window, select the COM port the Screen Pro is attached
to by selecting the COM#.
5) The ScreenPro defaults to a baud rate of 38.4K. The Baud Rate field (next to the
communication lights) should reflect this.
Verifying Communications between the Computer and Screen Pro Unit
1) In the loader program, click inside the Terminal Window.
2) A blinking cursor should appear in the upper left hand corner of the window.
3) Turn the Screen Pro unit ON and wait for it to boot.
4) Back at the Terminal window, the CTS and DCD status lights should be RED.
Pressing the enter key a couple of times will allow the system prompt "#" to
be displayed on the screen.
5) If the CTS and DCD status lights are GREEN then check the communication settings in the
loader and verify the COM port is correct and the communication parameters match with what
is displayed in the CONFIG SERIAL menu on the Screen Pro unit.
6) If any of the communication parameters are changed within the loader, it is recommended
that the Screen Pro unit be powered down and the verification process started over.
Uploading Files to the Screen Pro Unit
1) Once communications have been established and verified, click on the "Open script file
to read and upload" button to open the file browse window.
2) Select the ldr_pro.sld file and click open. At this point the loader will start to transfer
the files to the ScreenPro system.
3) After several minutes, the loader utility will inform the user that the process is complete
down at the bottom the loader window.
4) Once this is done, you must power down the Screen Pro unit and turn it back on for
the software to take effect. You can also close the loader utility at this time.
5) Verify the new software is in the system by looking for the version number in the
TECH SUPPORT menu.
6) Once you have verified the version number, it is recommended that a factory reset be
performed by pressing the PROG, DEL and SEL keys together and releasing.
