Application Upgrade/Backup From Sd/Usb - Sam4s SPS-500 Series Program Reference Manual

Application Upgrade/Backup from SD/USB

A Note About Software Upgrades...
Most software updates will be application upgrades and will be done in S Mode from SD or USB. Use the
following instructions to complete these upgrades. There may be rare occasions when operating system files
are updated. Operating system updates are performed from the system menu. If an operating system update
is needed, specific instructions will accompany the update files. Care must be taken so that operating system
files are not inadvertently downgraded. Always clear all memory after any update.
This utility allows you to upgrade or back up the SPS-500 application program (a file in the sps500 folder
named sps500) using either an SD card or USB memory stick. The application backup utility is very useful
for field service staff when installing new registers to an existing system. Application programs MUST BE
THE SAME on all registers in a network.
NOTE: SD cards must be formatted as FAT 32. To avoid compatibility issues, CRS recommends that you
purchase SD cards from CRS.
1. At your PC, create an "sps500" folder on SD/USB card. Copy the application image (sps500) to this
folder.
2. Insert SD card or USB memory stick into the SPS-500.
3. From the S Mode main menu touch Self Test, and then touch APPLICATION UPDATE.
4. Select Application Update or Application Backup.
5. Select SD or USB.
