Upgrade Procedure Upgrade Procedure Upgrade Procedure Upgrade Procedure
What’s Required
In order to perform an upgrade from an eXcel RTU to an XL4 RTU, the following equipment and software is
required;
•
Laptop with “Q90” and “QTech Workbench” software installed
• USB cable Type A to Type B (QTech P/N CB-USB-AB)
•
Q90 Serial Diagnostics cable D9 Female to RJ45 (QTech P/N PD6502)
• DATRAN VI v6.68 software installed at the Base Station
Upgrade Procedure
Saving the Existing Configuration
Using the existing Q90 serial diagnostics cable, connect the Laptop to the DIAG port on the eXcel RTU.
Run Q90 software and click “Load from RTU” button. Once the eXcel RTU’s configuration is successfully loaded
save it by clicking File menu then Save Configuration giving an appropriate filename.
Please note down what RTU address number is being used. This will be needed later to check
the configuration has been restored correctly. The eXcel RTU with a Q03 uses DIP switches,
the XL4 uses Workbench to set this address,
