Chapter 10 Updating Firmware

OVERVIEW

To provide feature enhancements in the future, ATLAS 810PLUS supports firmware updating by field personnel. Two transfer methods are available for use in updating any modules that contain Flash memory, including the

ATLAS 810PLUS system controller. The first transfer method is via the

ATLAS 810PLUS Chain In port using XMODEM protocol. The second trans- fer method is via the ATLAS built-in Ethernet port using TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol). To simplify the update procedure, a common menu in- terface is available for updating any upgradable module within the ATLAS 810PLUS (see also Update Firmware on page 6-16). The following sec- tions describe the procedure for updating using either transfer method.

Please consult the appropriate ATLAS 810PLUS module manual to determine if the module supports Flash upgrading.

Users must use the supplied connector when using VT-100 or when doing any asynchronous Flash activity.

XMODEM FIRMWARE UPDATES

The ATLAS 810PLUS supports firmware updating to any upgradable mod- ule using XMODEM transfer protocol via the base unit’s Chain In port. XMODEM is found in most PC communications software packages. To con- figure the Chain In port’s data rate and other communication parameters, consult Control/Chain In Port on page 2-4and Control/Chain Out Port on page 2-5.

Ensure the communications software package being used has flow control turned off.
