E. Procedure for Downloading New Software
At some point in the future, you may need to upgrade the RangeLAN2
Serial Adapter software. To do this, choose the Download New
Software Version option from the Main Menu. You need to use the
XMODEM protocol to complete the download. Commonly used
serial communication programs, such as Hyperterminal and Procomm
Plus, support the XMODEM protocol.
The steps for downloading a new image are:
1. Place the new software file on the computer’s hard drive,
a floppy disk, or a network server.
2. Attach the Serial Adapter to a free serial port on the
computer using the Serial Adapter cable.
3. Open a terminal screen and set the serial port settings to
9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
4. Bring up the Serial Adapter configuration menu by
typing “$$$” in a terminal screen. If your Serial Adapter
is not currently set to 9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bits, no
parity, then set the Domain Switch to 9 to bring up the
configuration menu at these settings.
5. Choose Download New Software Version from the
Main Menu.
6. You will be prompted to send a file containing the
software version using the XMODEM protocol.
7. When the download is successful, the Serial Adapter will
automatically reboot and load the new software.
