The “0000” on the second line of the display is the initial value that is shown and must be
changed to the appropriate authorization code. Use the UP, DOWN and RIGHT key to
change the numbers in the display. Once the correct authorization code is reached,
pressing ENTER will result in the following display:
When the UP key is pressed, the firmware is updated. If any other key is pressed, the
update will be cancelled and no change will be made to the firmware.
11.2.1 AUTHORIZATION CODE TO BEGIN FIRMWARE UPGRADE
The user controls whether an authorization code is required before a firmware upgrade
occurs. If an authorization code is required, a specific file must be placed in the ADD-32
PLUS/DRIVE###/FIRMWARE directory and must be named FLASHKEY.TXT.
The authorization code will be read from the FLASHKEY.TXT file. The ADDvantage-
32 PLUS reads the FLASHKEY.TXT file and from the characters in the file generates
the authorization code using the algorithm as follows:
1) Set initial authorization code to a value of 0.
2) The drive only recognizes ASCII numbers ranging from 0 to 9. If the first
character in the file is in the range of ASCII 0-9, then set the authorization code to
that value. If the character is not a valid ASCII number, then terminate the
algorithm and use 0 as the authorization code.
3) If the second character in the file is in the range of ASCII 0-9, then multiply
authorization code by 10 and add that value to the product. If the character is not
a valid ASCII number, then terminate the algorithm and use the authorization
code computed in step 2 above.
4) If the third character in the file is in the range of ASCII 0-9, then multiply
authorization code by 10 and add that value to the product. If the character is not
a valid ASCII number, then terminate the algorithm and use the authorization
code computed in step 3 above.
5) If the fourth character in the file is in the range of ASCII 0-9, then multiply
authorization code by 10 and add that value to the product. If the character is not
