Updating Firmware
To provide feature enhancements in the future, ATLAS 810
firmware updating by field personnel. Two transfer methods are available
for use in updating any modules that contain Flash memory, including the
PLUS
ATLAS 810
system controller. The first transfer method is via the
PLUS
ATLAS 810
Chain In port using XMODEM protocol. The second trans-
fer method is via the ATLAS built-in Ethernet port using TFTP (Trivial File
Transfer Protocol). To simplify the update procedure, a common menu in-
terface is available for updating any upgradable module within the
PLUS
ATLAS 810
(see also Update Firmware on page 6-16). The following sec-
tions describe the procedure for updating using either transfer method.
Please consult the appropriate ATLAS 810
determine if the module supports Flash upgrading.
Users must use the supplied connector when using VT-100 or when
doing any asynchronous Flash activity.
PLUS
The ATLAS 810
supports firmware updating to any upgradable mod-
ule using XMODEM transfer protocol via the base unit's Chain In port.
XMODEM is found in most PC communications software packages. To con-
figure the Chain In port's data rate and other communication parameters,
consult Control/Chain In Port on page 2-4 and Control/Chain Out Port on
page 2-5.
Ensure the communications software package being used has flow
control turned off.
