Upgrading Firmware and
Web Pages
As more options become available for the Interface
Module, you may want to upgrade the Web Server.
Follow the instructions below to perform this function.
CAUTION:
There is a possibility that updating the
firmware could cause the file system to be
formatted. This will cause the www folder, as
well as saved tags and custom EGU, to be
lost. In addition, the BBRAM may be erased,
resulting in the loss of logger data, and
retained ISaGRAF variables.
It is highly suggested that the following steps be
performed before an upgrade:
1.
Make a note of EGU and tags, or upload the
tags.ini
and
egu.ini
files via FTP.
2. Retrieve logged data.
3.
Be prepared to download the ISaGRAF
resource. If this is not possible, then contents
of the hds folder should be retrieved and
stored.
4.
Make a note of any ISaGRAF variables
stored in BBRAM which may be lost (e.g. PID
parameters, etc).
In order to acquire the latest upgrade files contact the
factory. Generally these files are sent via email in a
.zip file that you may use to install and upgrade your
system.

It is recommended that you disconnect your Interface
Module from the LAN and use a crossover cat 5
cable to connect directly to the unit and then perform
the upgrade. However, if this is not easily done, the
information below can also be applied to upgrading
while the Interface Module is still connected to your
network.
1. Verify that the Interface Module is attached to the
network and is operational. You will need to know the
IP address of the server. For installation instructions,
please consult the Connecting the Interface Module
to the Network section of this manual.
Note:
The following information applies to systems
using a Windows
®
operating system newer
than Windows 98 and Internet Explorer 5.5. If
you are running a system with earlier software,
consult the factory for assistance.
2. In your browser’s URL bar, type
ftp:// and the
address of your Interface Module.
3. A User name and/or Password will be requested
in the following window, enter them. The Interface
Module directory folders will appear.
4. On your PC, access the .zip file that was sent to
you containing the upgrade files (extract the files if you
have not already). Locate the .dlb file, select it,
right-click and select Copy .
5. The .dlb file needs to be copied into the Interface
Module’s update directory. In the FTP client (Internet
Explorer) open the update folder. The folder should
contain no files. Right-click anywhere in the folder and
select Paste
. This will copy the new firmware to the
Interface Module.
6. Once the file has finished uploading, close your
FTP connection (close Internet Explorer). This will
cause the Interface Module to validate the firmware
file, and write it to flash. The system will re-boot itself
in approximately 45 seconds. It will restart in about
three minutes.
