Downloading Firmware using a Networked PC and a Terminal

Verify the following before you start the download procedure.

The probe is connected to the network.

The IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway of LanProbe are

zconfigured correctly.

A terminal (or a PC running terminal emulator software) is attached to the probe’s RS-232 port (using a null modem cable). Configure the communication link for 8 bits per character, 1 stop bit, no parity, Xon/Xoff

zhandshaking, and a baud rate of 9600.

You will also need the IP address of the networked PC.

Use the following procedure to download firmware to LanProbe from the networked PC using a terminal:

LanProbe executes a cold start if you press the CONFIG button twice within one second. If this happens, wait for the cold start to be completed (about 45 seconds) and then press the CONFIG button again to re-enter the configuration mode.

1.Press the CONFIG button on the back of the probe once. The LanProbe’s Main Menu, as shown in Figure 6-21 on page 86, is displayed on the console.

The LanProbe CONFIG button is recessed. This requires the use of a narrow, pointed object (like a pen) to press the CONFIG button.

A warm start or cold start is completed when the Fault LED goes off. If traffic is present, the Activity LED flashes to show traffic.
