5.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the MultiFRAD software which is designed for
the Microsoft
®
Windows
®
environment. The MultiFRAD 100 Program
Group has three icons that allow you to launch the software, download
a firmware update, and configure the console pc port in order to
communicate with the MultiFRAD.
The MultiFRAD 100 Configuration icon allows you to configure the data
port for either a synchronous or asynchronous device, configure the
trunk for a frame relay network, view statistics of the data port, perform
diagnostic test of the unit, and download a new configuration to the unit.
The Download Firmware allows new operating code (firmware) to be
transferred to the MultiFRAD. The Configuration Port Setup icon
establishes the parameters for which the console pc communicates with
the MultiFRAD.
You may also start the MultiFRAD 100 Configuration from the File
Manager by selecting the unofrad directory and double clicking on the
unofrad.exe
program in the file list.
You may also run MultiFRAD 100 Configuration from either the Program
Manager or the File Manager by clicking on the Run command in the
File Menu, then typing: C:\
unofrad
\
unofrad.exe
in the Command Line
field.
