8.0 Updating Firmware

Engineers, technicians and/or system administrators/integrators may update the firmware of the Diamond-VT using the Command Line Interface (CLI) (See Accessing the Diamond-VTon page 15) via the RS-232 serial port or the optional Ethernet management services card.

Updating firmware via the RS-232 serial port

To update the firmware via a connection to the RS-232 serial port, you will need

•a host computer with a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal in Windows

•binary information file (“...”.ima) available from technical support or on our website (see Warranty on page A-xv)

•a null modem serial cable with a DB-9 connector

1Connect to Diamond-VT services via the RS- 232 port (see Accessing the Diamond-VTon page 15). You should now be in the Command Line Interface mode.

2Copy the latest Diamond-VT image file (“...”.ima) onto the host computer.

3Type ZModem Receive at the Ready prompt.

The terminal program on the host should be in Zmodem only mode, with no other parameters.

The Diamond-VT will display information that it is preparing to receive a file from your terminal program.

4On the terminal program, choose Transfer

Send File

5In the Send File box, enter the current Diamond flash (“...”.ima) filename or click the browse button to find it.

6Click Send File

7The Diamond should acknowledge receiving the file and display a message not to interrupt power for 90 seconds.

CAUTION

Do not interrupt the flash process. If the process is interrupted, the Diamond-VT will become inoperable and will have to be returned to the factory for repair.

Do not turn off the Diamond-VT until the display returns the Ready prompt.

8If upgrading the firmware from versions older than 2.5.3, follow the procedures outlined in

Resetting Defaults on page 63.

9When the flash procedure is complete, cycle power on the Diamond-VT.

Updating firmware via the optional Ethernet card

To update the firmware via the optional Ethernet management services card, you will need

•the optional Ethernet management services card installed in your Diamond-VT

•a host computer with a network card or a network-connected device such as a hub

•binary information file (“...”.ima) available from technical support or on our website (see Warranty on page A-xv)

•a crossover network cable for a direct connect or standard network cable if attached to a network device

• a valid IP address

1To connect to the Ethernet and set up your host computer, refer to Ethernet Access: Telnet and SNMP Protocols on page 21.

Note

The host computer must have appropriate network settings to allow it to communicate with the Diamond-VT. Please see your system administrator for more information.

2 Turn on the Diamond-VT.
