Smartmedia Errors; Remote Program Update - Toshiba Strata CTX28 Programming Manual

SmartMedia Errors

Any error causes the SmartMedia LED to flash (0.25sec ON – 0.25sec OFF continuous), except if the
SmartMedia Volume Label is UPDATE; in this case the SmartMedia LED will always flash.
SmartMedia LED Specification
SmartMedia LED, located near the SmartMedia slot on the CTX processor, is lit when the following
occurs:
• When the SmartMedia is accessed for read and write.
• When the errors are detected. See above for the detail of errors.
• When SmartMedia is inserted into the slot, SmartMedia LED blinks once. This is because the system
accesses the media to read the house keeping data. When it does not blink, it means that the
SmartMedia is not detected by the system at all. If the blink does not stop, it means that any of above
error is detected or the SmartMedia volume label is UPDATE.

Prerequisites
The following are the prerequisites to Remote Update:
• The SmartMedia card must be installed in the system with a Backup of the current database
(default.dat) file.
• Activation of the new software requires a Clear-reboot operation that will drop all existing calls and
will take the system out of service from 10 minutes to an hour or more, depending on the system size.
• Requires a different system software Update file (provided on the Toshiba FYI site), depending on the
type of CTX system and the type of Update that will be performed.
CTX Software Update Files
Each Strata CTX system type has two Software Update files: one for CTX WinAdmin Remote Update and
another file for Local Update (to use with the Programming Telephone procedure).
Using the wrong file in either case will cause the Update to fail.
CAUTION!
CTX Software Identification
Refer to the table below to identify CTX software release and builds in software file names or when
verifying CTX software versions. For example, if the software ID is MA228, this means MA2 is equal to
CTX Release 1.02 and nn is the software build 28.
