3) A data file that tells the upgrade program (AVMATRIX.EXE) which binary code
files (HEX files) to download to the AdderView MATRIX and where to put each file.
Theoretically this DAT file can be modified so that only certain processors are
upgraded but do not do this unless specifically instructed by Adder technical
support.
e.g.
Like the hex files, the first three digits represent the model number (e.g. 216
represents an AdderView MATRIX model 216 with 16 computer ports). The next four
digits represent the version number (e.g. V129 equals firmware version 1.29).
To upgrade the AdderView, check that the DAT file designation matches the model
that you have. In other words, if you have an AdderView MATRIX with 16 computer
ports and you want to upgrade to version 1.30 then the DAT file that you need would
be named 216V130.DAT. Also check that all the required files are loaded into the
same directory on your computer. From that directory run the upgrade file using the
following command line.
Where {Dat_file_name} is the name of the required DAT file
For example, if the name of the required DAT file is 216V129.DAT then use the
following command line:
IMPORTANT NOTE
The upgrade programs are DOS based to enable compatibility with the widest
range of operating systems. They run efficiently on DOS, Windows 3.X,
Workgroups, 95, 98, ME and Windows NT. The upgrades will take
approximately 10 minutes but vary slightly according to the AdderView model
and the speed of the PC. Upgrades run from PCs using Windows 2000 will
take very substantially longer due to the way that this operating system
handles the DOS programs. The upgrade will be reliable but may take around
3 hours to complete!
