UPDATING DB-8 SOFTWARE
While loading software the colour of the front LED
indicates the following status.
ORANGE:
The Boot software is starting and processing the control
file.
RED:
The Boot software could not start the Ethernet or H8 main
board application. Two situations could be causing this:
• An older version of software than the one already
loaded is found on the disc. Power on/off to reboot.
• An error occurred while reading the disc. Either the file or
the disc is corrupt. This will probably result in software
failure. Create e new disc with correct software and try
again.
RED BLINK:
The Boot software could not save the result file
"Resboot.txt" on the diskette. This could be due to a write
protected disc.
GREEN:
The Boot software has started the Ethernet and H8 main
board application. If any control file has been processed
see the Resboot.txt file for any errors and status.
Loading the TC Icon software is also possible via LAN
(Local Area Network).
To setup your DB-8 in a network and update via LAN,
please refer to the following pages.
It is not possible to update the Mainframe-software via
ethernet.
AES-8 Card Software
The AES-8 card is loaded with the latest software version
when you receive the card. If you need to upgrade this
software at any time follow these instructions:
• Download the latest software from www.tcelectronic.com
Follow the instructions
• Power OFF both the Mainframe and the Remote CPU
• Insert the AES-8 floppy-disk into the Mainframe
• Power On the Mainframe
• Wait while the software is loaded.
• When the LED on the right side of the DB-8 turns
constantly green, and the floppy-drive has stopped,
remove the floppy-disk
