PC Setup 41
12 The Utilities option is used for saving and restoring the configuration parameters
for the 8100A Site Controller.
13 Select the Download option and press Enter for the download process to begin.
The actual downloading procedure overwrites the existing program in Flash. Ensure
that the appropriate file name is selected before pressing Enter on the Download
option. Do not remove power or interrupt the download process in any manner. This can
cause the unit to lose its serial and hardware revision numbers that can only be reinstalled
at the factory.
The process of erasing the Flash can last a couple of minutes. The PC message line
indicates the number of records sent:
Records Sent: --
If the entered filename does not exist in the local directory, the following error
message appears:
Cannot find file ----
Upload aborted, press a key to continue
14 Once the Flash is erased, the program begins counting the number of data blocks
being uploaded. This process takes a few minutes to complete.
Records Sent: ----
Percent Sent: --%
15 After the software is downloaded to the unit, the PC beeps to indicate completion.
Most units automatically reset. Units requiring manual switch settings to enter the
download mode must have their switches manually reset to the correct operating
positions.
Do not remove power until the LEDs stop flashing.
16 When all files have been downloaded, a factory default maintenance reset
operation is recommended (see Maintenance Reset on page 38). This can be
performed through the unit’s terminal interface start- up procedure (see Interface
Start-up on page 23).
