FIRMWARE UPDATES

Downloading new firmware to the MACRO Station is a simple process once the MACRO board is setup properly. To download new firmware to the MACRO station, the user must have the following items:

5V power supply

2 jumpers

DB9 female to 10 pin header (any cable used for PMAC RS232 communications) PC at the DOS prompt.

New firmware and necessary downloading batch files

Make sure to power down the MACRO Station

To download the software to the MACRO station, the user will first jumper the following E2 (1-2) and E1 (1-2). Wire the 5V power to the appropriate terminal on the MACRO station or plug into 3U Rack.

Place the 10 pin header cable to the serial connection on the MACRO-station and place the other end to the COM1 port on the PC (the batch files were written for COM1 but could be modified if necessary).

Goto the DOS prompt and create a directory called firmware and station (as an example). C:\firmware\station

a:\copy *.* c:\firmware\station

Go back to the c drive and type the following command c:\firmware\station\mcdwnld

The firmware will be down loaded to the MACRO station. Easy!

The PMAC Executive Software will soon have the capability of downloading the MACRO Station firmware in the Windows Operating Environment.

(5)Place jumper E2 back to pins 2-3 and remove E1 jumper

Please call the factory if you have any questions.
