Option 4. Send this Unit’s Main Program to other Units.
Option 5. Send this Unit’s Kernel to other Units.
The main program or kernel program updates (Option 3) only have to be done on one port. Make sure power to all UltraMatrix switches is “ON” and they are all connected using the appropriate expansion cables.
Press 4 to send the main program to all other units, all other cards.
Press 5 to send the kernel program to all other cards.
The following messages will appear using either option 4 or option 5.
Boards to update - n
You are about to copy the firmware from this board to all other boards in the system.
Are you sure? Y/N
Before responding Y, make sure that the “Boards to update” number in the message above agrees with the total number of boards in the entire system minus 1. If the number does not agree, reply N, turn on the inactive UltraMatrix Units, and press 4 or 5 again. When you reply Y, the following message appears:
Sending flash program code to system........................
When complete, the system returns you to the serial options menu. Wait at least 15 seconds before restarting the UltraMatrix after choosing option 4 or 5 for the program to propagate to the other cards in the system.
Option 6. Reset to Factory Defaults (This CPU card only)
NOTE: Before resetting any CPU card to factory defaults, note the starting computer number listed on the Serial menu, Option 1. When resetting a CPU card to factory defaults, this number will be set to one (1) and must be changed back to the original value by using option 1 to change the starting computer number and then saved using option 7. In an expanded system, there cannot be two different UltraMatrix switches in the system with the same starting computer number.
Selecting option 6 restores the CPU card to its original factory configuration. The following message appears:
Flash programming . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
When the factory defaults have been restored, the following message is displayed:
Reset to default successful
The serial options menu is then displayed, indicating that this CPU board has been reset to the factory defaults.
Option 7. Save Changes
This option saves the configuration changes made in option 1 and 2 only to the CPU card where the serial cable is attached. It is recommended that all users be logged off from all systems prior to saving any configuration changes.
To save the configuration changes, press 7, and the following message appears:
Flash programming . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
When the flash memory is updated, the following message is displayed:
Configuration saved successfully
Option 8. Exit (Restart the Unit)
Selecting option 8 exits the serial option menu. The UltraMatrix switch will reinitialize and the diagnostic check will run. After the diagnostic check finished, the Unit is ready to use with its new configurations. If there are more configurations needed, hit the space bar within 5 seconds and the serial menu will be brought back up to use.
