Upgrading Module Firmware

The MERLIN MAGIX Integrated System allows upgrades or reinstallation of module firmware
through the PCMCIA interface slot on the processor module. The interface slot is a standard
interface through which information may be added to or retrieved from the system.
Circuit modules may use flash ROM to retain module firmware. Unlike traditional ROMs, flash
ROM can be written and erased without being removed from the circuit module. The circuit
modules that include this feature are the 016 (T/R), the 800 GS/LS-ID, and the 800 NI-BRI.
Firmware on these circuit modules can be upgraded or reinstalled with an Upgrade memory card.
An upgrade is performed when a new release of firmware enhances a module's capabilities or
corrects problems. Firmware can be reinstalled if the existing circuit module firmware has been
corrupted. The label of PCMCIA card identifies the Application Vintage of firmware that is included
on the card.
The label of the PCMCIA Upgrade card identifies the Application Vintage of firmware that is
included on the card. Use this card to upgrade only the modules that this card identifies as having
a new Application Vintage of firmware. Upgrading other modules may cause unexpected system
operation.
You do not have to upgrade the system software to upgrade a module's firmware.
1. Insert the Upgrade Card into the PCMCIA slot on the processor module.
2. Select Maintenance from the System Programming Main Menu. (Menu > Maintenance >)
3. Select Slot .
4. Enter slot number of module that needs a firmware upgrade. You can upgrade only one
module at a time.
5. Select Busyout and answer Yes to Do you want to continue?.
When you see Busy-out Complete on the screen, select Exit .
6. Select Upgrade from the Maintenance Menu.
