Model 3088 Series User Manual

The two sets of DIP switches on the underside of the Model 3088 are referred to as S1 and S2. As shown in

figure

System reset mode

To enter system reset mode, switch all DIP switches to the OFF position and power cycle the unit. You can use

a VT100 emulator configured for 19,200 kbps/1 stop bit/ no parity/ XON-XOFF flow control to access the

console. Upon restart, you will see the message "Reset Mode".

System reset mode provides two functions:

•

•

The software is upgraded by waiting for the Reset Mode message. Then, the user can send an Intel HEX file

supplied by Patton. After the VT100 emulator has finished sending this file, the 3088 will respond with a mes-

sage stating how many errors were detected. The user may then set the DIP switches to the desired configura-

tion and power cycle the unit to run the upgraded software.

To recover from a forgotten password, the user may reset the unit to its factory configuration. After seeing the

Reset Mode message, the user should type the '*' key. This will result in a ':' prompt. At the prompt, the user

should enter the command reset. This will restore the unit to the factory configuration. The unit can then be

restarted with the settings in place.

You can configure the 3088 by setting the DIP switches to the desired positions before you power up the Rock-

etLink-G. If the DIP switches are set to anything other than all OFF or all ON, the RocketLink-G will operate

in DIP switch configuration mode. Once the device is powered up and operating in DIP switch configuration

mode, you cannot change configuration by any method until you power it down again.
