C-2 Software Download
Loading the Software Download (SDL) Program
Each NETServer is shipped with a disk containing replacement
firmware. This disk also contains the software download
program, and should be loaded on the Management Station PC.
Make Backup Copies of the NETServer Firmware
As with all software, it is a good idea to make a copy of the
original disk. To make an exact duplicate of the original disk,
use the DOS DISKCOPY command to copy all of the files.
(Make sure each destination disk is blank and formatted before
copying files.)
Software Installation
1. Insert the installation disk in your floppy drive.
2. Create a directory on your hard drive to hold the software,
and then change to that directory.
3. At the DOS prompt of the new directory, type the following
command:
copy a:\*.*
Enter
(if the installation disk is in a drive other than drive a:,
substitute the appropriate drive letter)
The flash software for the card is loaded on the PC.
Starting SDL
Before starting SDL, we recommend that you unload any
terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) programs running on the PC.
TSRs slow down the SDL program considerably.
The easiest way to run SDL is to type SDL and press the Enter
key. This runs a batch file (SDL.BAT) that invokes PCSDL with
all the command line options preset so you don’t have to type
them in. However, you may want to edit this batch file from
time to time to make sure the options are correct for what you
want to do.
