Updating Firmware
To change enclosure settings including unit SAF-TE ID, default boot options, and
to upgrade the firmware, a Firmware Option menu, seen above, is provided in
the utility software.
To modify existing settings, the settings file (Eetbl.asm) on the utility disk must
be edited to the required settings and then loaded into the unit EEPROM using the
Load EEPROM from Disk command from the Firmware Option menu. The
setting file, Eetbl.asm, is shown with detailed descriptions below. The
HEADING column may be disregarded. The LINE column does not exist in the
file and has been added so that reference to specific rows can be made for
instructional purposes only. Use a text editor to change the value in the
SETTING column, save the file, and then load the file into the EEPROM from the
Firmware Options menu. The DESCRIPTION column contains no setting values
and anything after the semi-colon is a comment in the file.
