Updating Configuration Data - DataKinetics DSC110 User Manual

7.9.2 Software Update from Remote Data Centre
The procedure for a software update the RDC will be as follows
The user should enter:-
CNUPI:DTYPE=SOFTWARE,RDC=<rdc id>,DIRECTORY=< subdirectory>;
to request that the software be updated from a RDC where the software update
files are stored in a subdirectory in the ftproot.
Once the user has confirmed that the software should be upgraded the
distribution files will be transferred to the converter without further interaction with
the user. The unit will indicate that all files have been successfully transferred by
displaying the "EXECUTED" response to the CNUPI command.
On completion the user should restart the system by cycling the power supply of
the converter (switched OFF, wait 5 seconds, then back ON) to cause a
processor restart (alternatively the user may cause a processor restart using the
MNRSI command).
7.9.3 Software Update from V4.10 and Older
When upgrading from a version of software prior to version 5 an additional, initial,
step is required.
The user must first cycle the power supply of the converter (switched OFF, wait 5
seconds, then back ON) to cause a processor restart (alternatively the user may
cause a processor restart using the MNRSI command). After the central
processor starts up the three red alarm LEDs will flash off for a period of five
seconds. It is during this five second window that the first distribution disk
supplied by DataKinetics (containing the file ascbin.F )should be placed in the
floppy disk drive. The distribution disk will be detected in the disk drive and will re-
program the contents of the solid state memory card with the new system
software.
When the update procedure has finished the three red alarm LEDs on the front
panel will flash in sequence. This will occur approximately three minutes after
starting the procedure. When finished, the update disk should be removed from
the disk drive and the converter restarted by cycling the power. The converter will
now run in 'safe' mode awaiting the normal software update procedure using the
CNUPI command.

7.10 Updating Configuration Data

Valid configuration data must first be stored on a floppy by a converter (by using
the CNBUI command)
