Reloading the Firmware

General

The firmware on TROY XCD external print servers is stored in flash memory. This means that you can upgrade the firmware by downloading the appropriate update file. Such update files are available from TROY XCD on floppy disk (DOS format), CD-ROM, or Internet access.

Downloading from a DEC VMS Host Computer

The download procedure for DEC computers is basically identical to the procedure for downloading a DEC terminal server. If MOP is not running on your host computer, enter the following VMS commands to enable it:

$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:NCP

NCP> SHOW CIRCUIT QNA-0 CHARACTERISTIC NCP> SET CIRCUIT QNA-0 STATE OFF NCP> SET CIRCUIT QNA-0 SERVICE ENABLE NCP> SET CIRCUIT QNA-0 STATE ON

NCP> DEFINE CIRCUIT QNA-0 SERVICE ENABLE NCP> SHOW CIRCUIT QNA-0 CHARACTERISTIC NCP> EXIT

Refer to the documentation included with your VMS system and/or your terminal server if you need additional information on starting MOP.

The file XJET.BIN must be installed in the directory

SYS$SYSROOT:[MOM$SYSTEM]. The best way to copy
