Digi MIL-3000FTX manual Flash Upload Commands, Troubleshooting Tips

Note: Note the sequence number assigned to the images that is listed when using the DF console command or enter the flash monitor. The higher number indicates the more recent upload.

F.1.3 Flash Upload Commands

Access the flash upload command in one of two ways:

•Make a serial port connection and run the serial monitor

•For DOS machines, use the telnet monitor or use ACT

The flash upload commands are:

•Disable Network Upload

Used for security against unauthorized uploads.

•Enable Network Upload

This is the default state.

•Restart in Other Bank

The only way to cause the older image to execute when the images differ. The effect is temporary. A power cycle always runs the newer image. Use this feature to compare the old version to the new version.

•Copy This Image to Other Bank

Use this command to make the images identical. This command updates the alternate bank with the new main bank when the user is satisfied with the new image. To revert to an old firmware version, use the Restart in Other Bank command. When the old version comes up, this command will copy the old version over the new.

F.1.4 Troubleshooting Tips

•The original three LEDs remain blinking. FastPort didn’t recognize the beginning of the image. Check: baud rate. Verify: cable is correctly connected. Verify: correct files are loading.

•The rotating LED pattern begins and then freezes. This means that the end of the download image is missing.

•All LEDs flash

Warning: If all LEDs flash after reprogramming has begun, then there was a hardware failure! Note: FastPort remains in these three error states until resetted by a power cycling.
