SmartView XPro Installation and Use Page 69
3) A data file that tells the upgrade program (SVXPRO.EXE) which binary code files
(HEX files) to download to the SmartView XPro and where to put each file.
Theoretically this DAT file can be modified so that only certain processors are
upgraded but do not do this unless specifically instructed by Adder technical
support.
e.g. 4X16V129.DAT
Like the hex files, the first three digits represent the model number (e.g. 2X8
represents a SmartView 2XPro with 8 computer ports). The next four digits
represent the version number (e.g. V129 equals firmware version 1.29).
To upgrade the SmartView, check that the DAT file designation matches the model
that you have. In other words, if you have a SmartView 2XPro with 8 computer ports
and you want to upgrade to version 1.30 then the DAT file that you need would be
named 2X8V130.DAT. Also check that all the required files are loaded into the same
directory on your computer. From that directory run the upgrade file using the
following command line.
SVXPRO {Dat_file_name}.DAT
Where {Dat_file_name} is the name of the required DAT file
For example, if the name of the required DAT file is 4X16V129.DAT then use the
following command line:
SVXPRO 4X16V129.DAT
IMPORTANT NOTE
The upgrade programs are DOS based to enable compatibility with the widest
range of operating systems. They run efficiently on DOS, Windows 3.X,
Workgroups, 95, 98, ME and Windows NT. The upgrades will take
approximately 10 minutes but vary slightly according to the SmartView model
and the speed of the PC. Upgrades run from PCs using Windows 2000 will
take very substantially longer due to the way that this operating system
handles the DOS programs. The upgrade will be reliable but may take around
3 hours to complete!
