TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
6.10.3 632 System Controller & VCG
The 6320 System Controller card of the 4025TR is equipped with an
electrically erasable and re-programmable program memory device called
a FLASH PROM. This facilitates 632 firmware upgrades in the field. The
following procedures should be followed to reprogram the 6320 board.
1.
Connect the 4025TR to the computer's serial port using the cable
shown in Figure 7-4. This is the same cable you use to connect the
computer running the
have two serial communications ports (known as COM1 and COM2).
If you have both serial ports available, connect the 4025TR to COM1.
There are two different types of connectors commonly used for the
COM ports on computers.
You may wish to connect the character generator output of your
4025TR unit to a video monitor to help you monitor the progress of
the uploading procedure.
2.
If you received the firmware update on floppy disk, insert the
reprogramming diskette in the drive of the computer.
directories to the root of the reprogramming diskette's drive (A: or B:)
If you received this update from our Support Bulletin Board or web
page, change to the directory of your hard disk where you have the
upgrade files located. The upgrade files you downloaded have been
compressed using PKZIP and will need to be expanded before you
can proceed. Expand the upgrade files into this directory by running
the PKUNZIP utility (available on our BBS if you do not have a copy)
as follows:
PKUNZIP 4025TR.ZIP
3.
To set up the 4025TR for programming at 38400 baud hold down the
" key while you apply power to the 4025TR. When the 4025TR
completes its bootup sequence, the front panel and VCG will display
LOAD FLASH - 38400. If you are updating from software versions
after 971017 you can press the TIME/UB, SHIFT and " keys at the
same time to initiate programming at 38400 baud. The default baud
rate for reprogramming is 38400.
To set up the 4025TR for programming at 9600 baud hold down the
# key while you apply power to the 4025TR. If you are updating from
software versions after 971017 you can press the TIME/UB, SHIFT
and # keys at the same time to initiate programming at 9600 baud.
When the 4025TR completes its bootup sequence, the front panel
and VCG will display LOAD FLASH - 9600
4.
The 4025TR firmware is contained in an Intel HEX format file and is
called DC32A1.HEX. A Flash Loader software utility (called FL.EXE)
was provided along with the upgrade files you received.
