Configuring the Software

This chapter provides:
• An introduction to the software components used in the D20MX.
• An overview of the software tools you will use.
• How to download image files to the Flash memory on your D20MX module on your
system using a serial or network connection.
• A description of the SGConfig
• How to update to the SAN0001 firmware option
• How to transfer D20/D200 configurations to the D20MX
• How to update D20/D200 configurations to use the D20MX firmware definition
The D20MX main processor board requires three valid files to be loaded:
• An operating system image file, called "vxWorks", which resides in the file system on
Flash memory
• An application image file, called "appl.out", which resides in the file system on Flash
memory
• A configuration file which resides in the NVRAM
Use this section to load the image files of your RTU system.
The D20MX supports remote and local user accounts. Use remote user accounts whenever
possible to increase the level of security and to decrease user administration effort. To
implement remote user accounts, the D20MX uses Remote Authentication Dial-In User
Service (RADIUS) with CHAP and EAP-TTLS authentication methods. Refer to the B014-
1NCG WESMAINT II+ for the D20MX Configuration Guide for details on how to configure the
D20MX to use RADIUS.
