space bar) until the display matches the communica-
tions port that the PC uses to communicate with the
1559 Manager.
2. Move the cursor to the Baud Rate field and toggle the field
(using the space bar) until the value 2400 is displayed.
3. Move the cursor to the Utilities field and press the return/
enter key. The Utilities screen is displayed (Figure 2).
4. At the Configuration File field, key in a file name (for
example, config.dat). This file name is used to upload
the APS database after installing 3.XX software.
5. Move the cursor highlight to the Save Configuration
field and press the enter/return key. The message Send-
ing Request is displayed.
6. The software sends requests for data information to the
1559 unit. The 1559 responds by sending the circuit IDs,
1559 header information, and the service state for all card/
shelf positions. This information is formatted and stored in
the PC under the file name config.dat. This routine takes
approximately five minutes. When complete, the software
displays the message Load/Save Completed.
If there is a communications problem between the PC
and the 1559, the message Sending Requests... changes
to Response Time-out Error. Probable causes include:
- Com port is not properly selected. Verify that the PC
communications port to the 1559 is set to the correct
value (com1, com2, etc.)
- Wrong cable type connection from PC to 1559. Verify
that the cable is a straight-through cable (pin for pin).
- Wrong speed. Verify that the download software and
the 1559 serial port values are set at 2400.
7. The 1559 database is now saved to the the file defined
in Step 4 (config.dat). This file will be used in later
steps to upload the database into the 1559 RAM after
the 3.XX EPROM has been installed.
Once the database file has been
saved, do not turn the TxPORT pro-
gram Off, change displays, or disconnect
any connection. The PC will be used to
upload the saved file after completing the
3.XX software installation.
Installing the 3.XX EPROM
The following procedure describes how to remove the 2.0X
EPROM and then install the 1559 APS 3.XX EPROM.
1. Disconnect power from the 1559 Manager by removing
the front panel GMT fuse. The unit’s green POWER
LED indicator turns Off.
2. Using an EPROM removal tool, carefully remove the
2.0X EPROM from the right socket (U32).
Note the key (indentation) on the
left side of the EPROM and install
the new EPROM in the same orientation.
Failure to do so may destroy the EPROM.
3. Insert the 3.XX EPROM into the EPROM socket being
careful not to bend any EPROM leads. Inspect and ver-
ify that all of the EPROM leads are seated and that the
EPROM key is to the left.
4. Insert the GMT fuse. The unit’s green POWER LED
indicator turns On.
Uploading the Database File
This procedure describes how to upload the config.dat file to
the 1559 APS RAM. The PC and TxPORT programs
should still be connected and running.
