Downloading Firmware using a Networked PC and a Terminal
85
Verify the following before you start the download procedure.
The probe is connected to the network.
The IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway of LanProbe are
configured correctly.
A terminal (or a PC running terminal emulator software) is attached to the
probe’s RS-232 port (using a null modem cable). Configure the
communication link for 8 bits per character, 1 stop bit, no parity, Xon/Xoff
handshaking, and a baud rate of 9600.
You will also need the IP address of the networked PC.
Use the following procedure to download firmware to LanProbe from the
networked PC using a terminal:
CAUTION
LanProbe executes a cold start if you press the CONFIG button twice within one
second. If this happens, wait for the cold start to be completed (about 45 seconds)
and then press the CONFIG button again to re-enter the configuration mode.
1. Press the CONFIG button on the back of the probe once. The LanProbe’s
Main Menu, as shown in Figure 6-21 on page 86, is displayed on the
console.
NOTE
The LanProbe CONFIG button is recessed. This requires the use of a narrow,
pointed object (like a pen) to press the CONFIG button.
A warm start or cold start is completed when the Fault LED goes off. If traffic is
present, the Activity LED flashes to show traffic.
