You must change or verify that the computer’s baud rate matches the UltraMatrix baud rate. If you are using Windows HyperTerminal on your computer, first disconnect from the UltraMatrix switch by clicking on the HyperTerminal disconnect ICON. Change the baud rate to match the UltraMatrix switch’s baud rate, then connect to the UltraMatrix switch by clicking on the call ICON. Press [Enter] and the serial menu should display in the HyperTerminal window.
Option 3. Receive new main program or kernel from serial port (This card only)
When new main or kernel programs are available, they can be obtained from Rose Electronics or downloaded from our web site at www.rose.com. The diagnostic screen that is displayed when the UltraMatrix switch is first turned on shows the Kernel and main program version that is presently installed.
You cannot update the flash memory using only a display terminal; you must use a standalone computer or Notebook and the new main or kernel program saved on that computer. It is recommended that this procedure be done on UltraMatrix #1, RS232 port #1. (Lower right RJ12 connector)
To load a flash upgrade file, type 3 in the Enter choice field of the serial options menu. The following message will appear:
Waiting for file.........................
Send the program or kernel file from your computer to the UltraMatrix using ASCII text file protocol. From HyperTerminal, click on “Transfer” and select “Send Text File”. The “Send Text File” dialog box will display. Enter the file name of the updated firmware file into the File Name box and click “Open”. The file transfer function will start. While the file is being sent, periods are sent to indicate the copying progress. Once the file has been sent, you will see the message:
Receive successful
Flash programming.........................
Flash programming successful
After the flash memory is programmed, the serial menu will display.
Updating the firmware or kernel programs does not change any of the custom settings that have been made.
You may receive one of the following errors during the file transfer function: checksum error, record error, or data error. These messages are followed by:
Receive failed

These error messages may be caused by any of the following items:
Corrupted firmware upgrade file.
Loose or defective RS232 cable.
RS232 protocol not configured correctly.
Bad transmit or receive levels.
Hardware problem on transmit or receive side.
Identify and correct the transmit problem and press “Y” and then [Enter] to try again and you can resend the file.
