5.4 Upgrading the CPU card application code
5.4.1 Upgrading the CPU card application code using EHX with an
Ethernet connection
Before you upgrade the CPU card application code, check that:
• The PC can successfully connect to the matrix with an Ethernet connection by viewing the
Event Log (Diagnostics > Event Log) in EHX.
• There is a valid configuration in the matrix. A valid configuration enables the matrix to identify
its IP address and run its TCP / IP stack.
Note:
Both CPU cards may remain in place (inserted) for this procedure.
To upgrade the CPU card application code, using EHX with an Ethernet connection:
1. Ensure that you have the following equipment:
Required equipment Description / comments
PC with an Ethernet connector -
LAN cable for the PC-to-matrix
connection For direct connections, use Ethernet crossover cable.
If the connection passes through an Ethernet switch
on its way to the PC / matrix, use straight CAT5 cable.
EHX installation EHX must be configured and operational.
An EHX configuration file (*.hxn
or *.ccn format) The configuration file must have an appropriate IP
address set.
The appropriate *.fwr data file for
the CPU card application You can find the *.fwr data file on the software DVD:
Software DVD > Eclipse HX-Omega-Median-Delta >
xxxxxZ – Config application code (where xxxxxxZ
represents the product number).

2. Start EHX. Select File > Matrix connection.
3. In the Matrix connection dialog, select the Ethernet communications option.
4. Connect the PC to the Eclipse HX-Median / Eclipse HX-Omega / Eclipse HX-Delta matrix,
using the LAN#1 port on the rear of the matrix.
5. In EHX, select File > Import project. Navigate to the configuration file ( *.ccn or *.hxn
format) and click Open to import the file.
