DLP-011
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.
Login to the unit using the read-write password (see DLP-002 for details).
3. Go to the SYSTEM UTILITY menu and select CONFIGURATION TRANSFER menu; press <Enter>
4. Set the TRANSFER METHOD menu to XMODEM.
5. Select LOAD AND USE CONFIG to start the transfer. Enter Y to confirm the transfer and prepare the
ATLAS 550 for the transfer download.
When the ATLAS 550 is ready to receive the XMODEM configuration file, the menu screen will clear
and display Awaiting XMODEM Upload....<Ctrl-X> twice to Cancel. If this does not appear, please
review the steps above for possible configuration errors.
6. From the terminal emulation software, begin the XMODEM transfer by using the appropriate command
sequence. For Windows HyperTerminal, select Transfer>Send File. Enter the filename (including path)
and select XMODEM as the transfer method. ATLAS 550 configuration files should have a .cfg
extension.
If necessary, refer to the terminal emulation software documentation for help.
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.)
7. View CURRENT TRANSFER STATUS to verify the progress of the current upload.
8. When the transfer is complete, the ATLAS 550 will reboot and the login screen will appear. The unit is
now operational.
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.
The ATLAS 550 system is rebooted immediately after a configuration is successfully
loaded. No additional confirmation is requested, and any online sessions will be
terminated.
