3.6 Transferring Files to and from the Module with HyperTerminal
You can transfer individual files to and from the Compact Flash drive on the
ADMNET module using the utilities RY.exe (Receive Ymodem) and SY.exe
(Send Ymodem). These two programs work with a terminal client (for example
HyperTerminal) on your desktop PC to connect to the module and transfer files.
RY.exe and SY.exe are included in the sample ADM_TOOL.zip file for your
hardware platform (inRAx, ProLinx or ProTalk).
Important: The embedded operating system in the ADM/ADMNET module restricts file names to
eight "DOS legal" characters or fewer, with a three character extension. For more information on
creating filenames in the proper format refer to pages 17 through 20 of the DOS 6-XL Reference
manual.
3.6.1 Required Software
In order to send and receive data over the serial port (COM port) on your
computer to the module, you must use a communication program (terminal
emulator).
A simple communication program called HyperTerminal is pre-installed with
recent versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems. If you are connecting
from a machine running DOS, you must obtain and install a compatible
communication program. The following table lists communication programs that
have been tested by ProSoft Technology.
DOS ProComm, as well as several other terminal emulation programs
Windows 3.1 Terminal
Windows 95/98 HyperTerminal
Windows NT/2000/XP HyperTerminal
The RY and SY programs use the Ymodem file transfer protocol to send (upload)
and receive (download) configuration files from your module. If you use a
communication program that is not on the list above, please be sure that it
supports Ymodem file transfers.
