Troubleshooting Potential Flash Problems

Description
"Transfer Cancelled by Remote
System" message appears and the
Flash is not completed.
The "Xmodem File Send" for dialog
box appears, but the Flash file is not
transferred.
After completing a Flash, you are
unable to communicate with the serial
converter. For example, meaningless
text appears on the HyperTerminal
screen.
You are unable to initiate a Flash to a
DPI host or peripheral product.
Corrective Action
•
Restart HyperTerminal and repeat the Flash
procedure.
•
If you are using Windows NT 4.0, install SP3
or later. Windows NT service packs are
available from the Microsoft web site:
http://www.microsoft.com.
•
Download a HyperTerminal Private Edition
update from the Hilgraeve web site:
http://www.hilgraeve.com.
(Please note that there is a license
requirement with this software.) Then,
perform the Flash procedure again.
•
Verify that you have selected the Xmodem
protocol in the Send file dialog box.
•
Verify that the new file is on your hard disk.
Do not attempt to Flash from a floppy disk or
a network.
•
Verify that you are sending the file within 60
seconds of pressing Y to confirm that you
want to perform the Flash.
•
Set the serial port rate to 9600. If parameters
are changed during a Flash update, all
parameters are set to their default settings.
•
Verify that Parameter 16 - [Interface Select]
is set to "Auto" (default setting).
