Response: Ready to receive a new application.
- Activate the TRANSFER/SEND FILE (Binary) menu items,
- Select the relevant .BIN application file,
- If presented with the option, select XMODEM protocol,
- Press OK and/or SEND.
To cancel a download:
- Send one or more CTRL-D characters, OR
- Hang up the modem, OR
- Unplug the local terminal.
If possible, the previous application will then be restarted.
At this point, activate your terminal software’s File Transfer protocol. For example for Hyperterminal, invoke
Transfer/Send File, then enter (or Browse) the filename (for example PA516A_V1_1.BIN), set the Protocol
to Xmodem (NOT 1K Xmodem), then press the Send button.
When the transfer is complete, the new firmware will automatically start.
Comments: If the download of application code is interrupted or fails midway, the system will normally restart
immediately with the previously active application. If it doesn’t restart immediately, press CTRL-D
one or more times, alternatively, wait for about 3 minutes, and the system will automatically abandon
the download.
