9.Upgrading CMS Firmware

When new, improved versions of the CMS operating firmware become available, the "Upgrade Firmware" function can be used to update the CMS unit. Updates can be uploaded via Setup Ports One and Two, or via the Network Port.

Note: All other ports will be disabled during the firmware upgrade procedure.

1.Obtain the update file. Firmware modifications can either be mailed to the customer on a 3.5" diskette, or downloaded from WTI via modem. Place the diskette in your diskette drive and/or copy the file to your hard drive.

2.Access the CMS command mode. If the password prompt is displayed, key in the Supervisor Password. The Upgrade Firmware feature is only available in Supervisor Mode.

3.When the CMS command prompt appears, type /UF and then press [Enter]. The CMS will display a screen which offers the following options:

. Continue Upload and Keep Current Parameters: To proceed with the upgrade, while retaining current, user-defined parameters, type 1 and press [Enter]. All parameter settings will be restored when the upgrade is complete.

b.Continue Upload and Default System: To proceed with the upgrade, and reset parameters to default settings, type 2 and press [Enter]. When the upgrade is complete, all parameters will be set to default values.

Note: When the upgrade is performed via the Network Port, the CMS will not default the IP Address, Subnet Mask, or Gateway Address. This allows the telnet connection to be re-established after the upgrade procedure is complete.

c.Abort Upload: To cancel the upgrade and return to the command prompt, type 3 and press [Enter].
