Instruction manual

DLP-8 Updating the Firmware using XMODEM

Introduction

The Total Access 850 supports firmware updates using TFTP or XMODEM. (Use the 10/100BASET

Ethernet port and TFTP from a network server, or use XMODEM and the rear

CRAFT or RCU faceplate

CRAFT interface.) This procedure outlines the steps for a successful firmware upgrade using the rear

CRAFT or RCU faceplate CRAFT interface and XMODEM software. (See DLP-7, Updating the Firmware

using TFTP, for instructions on using TFTP.)

Tools and Materials Required

• VT100 compatible terminal or computer with terminal emulation software

• XMODEM software

To prevent electrical shock, do not install equipment in a wet location or during a

lightning storm.

Electronic modules can be damaged by static electrical discharge. Before handling

modules, put on an antistatic discharge wrist strap to prevent damage to electronic

components. Place modules in antistatic packing material when transporting or storing.

When working on modules, always place them on an approved antistatic mat that is

electrically grounded.
