Required unit type
Specify the unit type to which the files are to be downloaded. The only possible value is:
IP Gateway
Flash Erase type
The IP Gateway hardware does not include EPROMs. Instead, its software is stored on Flash
memory chips. In order to load and burn the Gateway software and the Gateway configuration,
a small kernel software file was developed, and is factory-installed in the IP Gateway. This
kernel includes a unique Ethernet address and resides on a read-only Kernel partition of the
Flash memory.
Other partitions of the IP Gateway Flash memory are:
CODE (system) partition
CONFIGURATION (parameters) partition.
Loading a new version of the Gateway software is done using the Downloader utility, which
downloads the Gateway programs into the Code partition. Before loading the new software,
the old version should be erased from the Flash memory, using the Erase flash and preserve
siteConf option.
Occasionally, it is necessary to erase the Gateway configuration in order to restore the default
configuration. In such cases, the old configuration should be erased from the Configuration
partition, by using the Erase all flash before download option.
The erasing and loading of the Gateway software requires communication between Port-2B in
the IP Gateway and Port COM1 in the PC, as shown in the IP Gateway Toolbox Connection
figure below:
