3.2 USB File Structure
3.2.1 Setting Up a USB Device
New software issued by Siemens Mobility, Inc for the GCP5000 (GCE) is installed via the
A80485-1 Display Module using a USB Device.
UPLOADING A NEW CONFIGURATION, MEF, OR MCF WILL PLACE
THE GCE IN A RESTRICTIVE STATE AND ACTIVATE THE CROSSING
WARNING SYSTEM.
BEFORE UPLOADING BEGINS, TAKE ADEQUATE PRECAUTIONS TO
WARN ANY PEDESTRIANS, PERSONNEL, TRAINS, AND VEHICLES IN
THE AREA UNTIL PROPER SYSTEM OPERATION IS VERIFIED.
DURING MODULE CHANGE OUT, SOFTWARE REVISION, REBOOT,
AND CALIBRATION PROCEDURES, WARNING DEVICES MAY NOT
OPERATE AS INTENDED. TAKE ALTERNATE MEANS TO WARN
VEHICULAR TRAFFIC, PEDESTRIANS, AND EMPLOYEES.
TESTS MUST BE PERFORMED TO VERIFY THE PROPER OPERATION
OF THE GCE BEFORE PLACING THE SYSTEM BACK IN SERVICE.
TO MINIMIZE THE TIME THAT THE CROSSING IS ACTIVE, IF THE
EXISTING CONFIGURATION NEEDS TO BE SAVED, SAVE IT BEFORE
SELECTING "UPLOAD CONFIGURATION" FROM THE USB WIZARD
MENU.
Due to software commonality issues, the USB Display device utilizes folders
titled GCP4000 rather than GCP5000.
Follow railroad-specific procedures for installing software in vital signal
equipment. Companies may restrict who may install software and what
additional documentation and operational checks are required.
Updating executive software on I/O modules requires installing a serial cable with a null modem
adapter between the A80485-1 Display's DIAG connector and the DIAG connector on the
individual modules. When installing software on CPU III, an Ethernet cable is required to either
connect the display to the CPU III module or to connect a laptop directly to the CPU III module
for use with the WebUI.
When working with transferring files, the following definitions apply:
•
Download – The transfer of data from GCP to USB.
•
Upload – The transfer of data from USB to GCP.
