8. Open the readme.txt file on the CD-ROM. There are two emulation sets
with corresponding part number files from which to choose:
CT / IPDS / IGP / ZGL / TGL / IGL / STGL
TN / IGP / ZGL / TGL / IGL / STGL
Both emulations include the LP+ emulation. They are offered in two file
formats: .exe and .prg. Use .prg files to download through the NIC.
9. Identify which emulation set you want to load into the SLPA and note the
filename that corresponds to that emulation. The filename is a six digit
number plus .prg. For example: 123456.prg
This is the file you will download into the NIC.
10. Copy the file to the download directory you created in step 6.
11. Start a command prompt session in Windows. (The Start Menu icon is
usually labeled MS-DOS Prompt or Command Prompt.)
12. At the command prompt type:
C:<Enter>
cd \download<Enter>
13. Start the FTP (file transfer protocol) program by typing:
ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx<Enter>
(where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP Address of the SLPA.)
14. Log in to the SLPA by typing:
root<Enter>
You are given a password prompt.
NOTE: The default is no password. If the FTP program requires a password,
15. At the password prompt, press <Enter>.
16. Once logged in, type the following sequence at the command prompt to
download the filename .prg file to the SLPA:
cd dest<Enter>
cd d1prn<Enter>
bin<Enter>
put filename.prg<Enter>
(where filename .prg is the file name you noted in step 9)
IMPORTANT
Do not interrupt the downloading process once it has started.
Interrupting a download will leave the flash memory on the controller
PCBA and NIC incompletely loaded, and the SLPA may not boot up.
17. When the download is complete, exit the FTP program by typing:
quit<Enter>
18. When the new software has successfully loaded into flash memory and
the SLPA has reset itself, set the SLPA power switch to O (Off).
19. Remove the CD-ROM from the host computer and store it with the SLPA.
20. If required, reconnect the data input cable(s) to the SLPA.
21. Set the SLPA power switch to | (On).
22. Using the configuration printout(s) you made in step 1, page 266, restore
the SLPA configurations. (See "Loading A Saved Configuration" on
page 77.)
