When doing datalogger to datalogger communications with
the COM220, if more than six rings are specified, the
datalogger may time out before the modem answers;
communication will never be established! Be sure to try
the set up locally before installing at a remote location.
CAUTION
A.3 Downloading a New Operating System to the
COM220
To download a new operating system to the COM220, follow these steps:
1) You must use an SC532A or an SC532 interface to communicate with the
modem. Connect the PC port (called “RS232” on the SC532) to a serial
port on your computer via an RS232 cable. Leave the modem
disconnected for now.
2) Make sure that you have the appropriate serial port selected in the left
panel of the Device Configuration Utility window.
3) Click on the Start button.
4) In the resulting file open dialogue box that appears, select the file that
should be sent as the modem's operating system. Do not attempt to load
any operating system other than that designed for the COM220
modem.
5) Once you have pressed OK in the file open dialogue box, connect the
peripheral port on the SC532(A) or SC532 to the CS I/O port on the
modem with an SC12 cable. If using an SC532, you will also have to
apply 12 V to the COM220 via a green connector attached to a power
supply. If using an SC532A device, power will be provided to the modem
by the 12 V adapter connected to the SC532A (NOTE: you must
highlight/select the operating system file to be sent BEFORE applying
power to the COM220).
6) The program should now send the operating system to the modem.
Interrupting this process may corrupt the modem operating system.
