DLP-010
Perform Steps Below in the Order Listed
1. Connect to the ATLAS 550 using the RJ-45 CONTROL IN or CRAFT interface.
If you are not already connected to the unit’s CONTROL IN or CRAFT interface (either with a
VT100 compatible terminal or with a PC running VT100 emulation software), follow the procedure in
DLP-001. Connecting to the CONTROL IN or CRAFT interface limits the config transfer procedure to
XMODEM Only.
2. Login to the unit.
3. Go to the SYSTEM UTILITY menu and select CONFIGURATION TRANSFER menu; press <Enter>.
Login to the unit using the read-write password (see DLP-002 for details).
4. Set the TRANSFER METHOD menu to XMODEM.
5. Select SAVE CONFIG REMOTELY to start the transfers. Enter Y to confirm the transfer and prepare the
ATLAS 550 for the transfer download. The following message is displayed: “This will begin sending a
copy of the current system configuration.”
6. Configure the VT100 terminal or terminal emulation software to Receive (and prompt for a filename).
7. View the CURRENT TRANSFER STATUS to verify the progress of the current transfer.
8. From the terminal emulation software, begin the XMODEM transfer by using the appropriate command
sequence. For Windows HyperTerminal, select Transfer>Receive File. Enter the filename (including
path) and select XMODEM as the transfer method.
If necessary, refer to the terminal emulation software documentation for help. Also, when specifying
the filename, ensure that the file saved has a .cfg extension. Otherwise, the file may not be available
for uploading into other ATLAS 550 units.
Because XMODEM data is being transferred in-band through the menu interface, the VT100 menus of
the ATLAS 550 will be inoperable from the CONTROL IN or CRAFT interfaces. You can cancel the
update at any time within the terminal emulation software. (Please consult the documentation provided
by the terminal emulation software to determine how to do this.)
9. When the transfer has successfully completed, IDLE displays in the CURRENT TRANSFER STATUS field
and XMODEM DOWNLOAD COMPLETE displays in the PREVIOUS TRANSFER STATUS field.
Follow-up Procedures
Once this procedure is complete, return to the procedure which referred you to this DLP and continue with
the tasks indicated there.
