Option 1. Receive new main program from serial port (This card only)
When a new main program is available, it can be obtained from Rose Electronics or downloaded from our web site at
www.rose.com. The diagnostic screen that is displayed when the Xtensys switch is first turned on shows the main
program version that is presently installed.
You cannot update the flash memory using only a display terminal; you must use a standalone computer or
Notebook and the new main program saved on that computer.
To load a flash upgrade file, type 1 in the Enter choice field of the serial options menu. The following message will
appear:
Send the program file from your computer to the Xtensys using ASCII text file protocol. From HyperTerminal, click on
“Transfer” and select “Send Text File”. The “Send Text File” dialog box will display. Enter the file name of the
updated firmware file into the File Name box and click “Open”. The file transfer function will start. While the file is
being sent, periods are sent to indicate the copying progress. Once the file has been sent, you will see the message:
After the flash memory is programmed, the serial menu will display.
Updating the firmware program does not change any of the custom settings that have been made.
