DOWNLOADING AND UPLOADING THE CONFIGURATION
The system has the capability of downloading the current system configuration to a
personal computer. The system also has the capability of uploading a system
configuration. The only requirement is that the information transfer is done using the
XMODEM protocol with CRC error checking, or TFTP protocol via the Ethernet port.
Once the system has been completely configured for a particular application, it is highly
recommended that the system configuration is downloaded to disk. If the CPU has to be
changed, or if firmware has to be upgraded, system configuration could be
reprogrammed by uploading the configuration file saved on disk back into the system.
Downloading and Uploading Using XMODEM
The XMODEM protocol ensures the integrity of the configuration during an upload and
download process. Communications programs for PC's that have the XMODEM protocol
are available in the LORAIN
®
SMART PARTNER and other software packages.
Note: A fully configured system downloaded or uploaded over a phone line at 1200
bits/s may require up to 15 minutes.
Note: The communications parameters of the remote terminal must match the system's
default parameters. The default parameters are 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no
parity. These defaults cannot be changed.
System configuration files can be saved on disk, or loaded back into a system using the
DOWNLOAD and UPLOAD commands, as described below. These commands are also
described in "Chapter 3. Commands". These commands are available to users
programmed for access to level 6 commands.
To Download the Configuration from the LMS1000 to a PC using XMODEM:
1) Log on to the system. The user must have access to level 6 commands.
2) Enter the command DOWNLOAD, then press ENTER. You have up to 1 minute
to initiate a file transfer.
3) The system will wait up to 1 minute before aborting the process if no file transfer
occurs. The system waits for a 'C' character, which is the synchronization
character for starting an XMODEM CRC file transfer.
4) At the PC, initiate a file transfer using XMODEM CRC protocol.
To Upload a Configuration from a PC to the LMS1000 using XMODEM:
1) Log on to the system. The user must have access to level 6 commands.
2) Enter the command UPLOAD, then press ENTER. The following will be
displayed.
