Option 1. Receive new main program or kernel from serial port (This card only)
When new main or kernel programs are available, they can be obtained from Rose Electronics or downloaded from
our web site at www.rose.com. The diagnostic screen that is displayed when the Xtensys switch is first turned on
shows the Kernel and main program version that is presently installed.
You cannot update the flash memory using only a display terminal; you must use a standalone computer or
Notebook and the new main or kernel program saved on that computer. It is recommended that this procedure be
done on Xtensys #1, RS232 port #1. (Lower right RJ12 connector)
To load a flash upgrade file, type 3 in the Enter choice field of the serial options menu. The following message will
appear:
Send the program or kernel file from your computer to the Xtensys using ASCII text file protocol. From
HyperTerminal, click on “Transfer” and select “Send Text File”. The “Send Text File” dialog box will display. Enter the
file name of the updated firmware file into the File Name box and click “Open”. The file transfer function will start.
While the file is being sent, periods are sent to indicate the copying progress. Once the file has been sent, you will
see the message:
After the flash memory is programmed, the serial menu will display.
Updating the firmware or kernel programs does not change any of the custom settings that have been made.
