8.3 Setting the Parameters in an AH500 Series Module

8.3.1 Managing the Version of a Module

The functions of a module or the parameters in the module vary with the versions of the module. In HWCONFIG,
the functions of the modules and the parameters in the modules are defined in a document called MDS. When
ISPSOft is installed, the latest MDS document is also installed. If a new version of the MDS document is
released, users can download it or get the related file from an agent.
An MDS document provides the information about the firmware versions of the modules. If users want to
configure modules in HWCONFIG, they can select a suitable configuration according to the firmware versions
of the actual modules. Besides, the parameters which can be set in the modules vary with the firmware
versions of the modules which are set. If the firmware version of a module set in HWCONFIG is older than the
firmware version of the actual module, the module will operate normally after the parameters are downloaded.
If the firmware version of a module set in HWCONFIG is newer than the firmware version of the actual module,
the module will not operate normally after the parameters are downloaded. Please refer to the descriptions in
the table below for more information.
Difference
The firmware version set is
older than the actual firmware
version.
The firmware version set is
newer than the actual
firmware version.
*. The compatibility mechanism described above only applies to modules whose firmware version is 1.0 or above. A
firmware version below 1.0 is not compatible with firmware version 1.0 or above.
If users want to set the firmware version of a module, they can select a version number in the Firmware
Version drop-down list cell on the information list. If the firmware version of a module is unknown, no version
number will be displayed.
If users want to change the firmware versions of the modules of a certain model, they can click Alter Overall
Firmware Version on the Option menu. The Alter Overall Firmware Version window will appear.
The module operates normally. Functions or parameters not defined in
HWCONFIG are assigned the default values.
The module can not operate, and is in an erroneous condition. Users have
to select a firmware version which is the same as the firmware version of
the actual module in HWCONFIG, check the parameters, and download
the parameters again.
