Chapter 3 Configuring the Adapter

When you enter ‘1’ (Reset Module), the adapter will be immediately reset. When
you enter ‘2’ (Set Defaults), the adapter will set all adapter parameters to their
factory-default values. After performing a Set Defaults, enter ‘1’ (Reset Module)
so that the new values take effect. The value of this parameter will be restored to
‘0’ (Ready) after the adapter is reset.

Viewing the Adapter Status

Using Parameters

The following parameters provide information about the status of the adapter.
You can view these parameters at any time.

Updating the Adapter

Firmware

The adapter firmware can be updated over the network or serially through a
direct connection from a computer to the drive using a 1203-USB or 1203-SSS
serial converter.

When updating firmware over the network, you can use the Allen-Bradley
ControlFLASH software tool, the built-in update capability of DriveExplorer
Full software, or the built-in update capability of DriveExecutive software.

When updating firmware through a direct serial connection from a computer to a
drive, you can use the same Allen-Bradley software tools described above, or you
can use terminal emulation software set to the X-modem protocol.

If using a direct serial connection, you can use DriveExplorer Lite software.
