This process can take up to several minutes, depending on the data transfer rate
as well as the type and the number of units selected. For example, the Put Appli-
cation process to a single SLM-5650A modem at a transfer rate of 1,000 Kbps
will take approximately 2.5 minutes to transfer the file and another 6 minutes to
write the data to flash.
Following a successful Put operation, executing a Hard Reset will command
the modem to reboot and load the new image.
Put FAST Code
Clicking the Put FAST Code button displays the Put FAST Code To Unit
dialog window shown in figure 3-26. This function allows a feature enhance-
ment upgrade for the selected modem unit(s) to be implemented through the use
of a unique access code that is purchased from Comtech EF Data.
Figure 3-26 Put FAST Code dialog
The Put FAST Code function is operable for either a single unit or multiple
units. If multiple units are selected, the Same For All Selected Units check box
will appear, providing the option to upgrade the group with this same feature.
Note, however, that since each unit requires a unique code, Putting to multiple
units will result in the appearance of a FAST Code prompt dialog for each unit.
Enter the 20-character hexidecimal access code in the FAST Feature Code
box.
Click on the OK button to Put the FAST Code to the unit(s). The Progress area
of the main window will display the transfer progress status.
Following a successful Put operation, executing a Hard Reset will command
the modem to reboot and load the new feature codes.
All Application Mode actions are recorded in the event log. Clicking the View
Log button opens the log file, as shown in figure 3-27.
