Note: When the upgrade is performed via the Network Port, the CMS will not
default the IP Address, Subnet Mask, or Gateway Address. This allows the telnet
connection to be re-established after the upgrade procedure is complete.
Abort Upload: To cancel the upgrade and return to the command prompt, type 3
and press [Enter].
c.
Use your communication program’s (e.g. ProComm’s) upload function to transfer the
upgrade firmware to the CMS unit. Select ASCII file format, and then specify the
filename and directory location where the firmware upgrade file resides.

Note: The Upload function will time-out after one minute of inactivity. If the
function times out, type 1 and press [Enter] to continue, or press [Esc] to abort.
If the upload is successful, the CMS will prompt the user to continue the upgrade or abort.
Upgrade: To continue with the upgrade, type 1 and press [Enter]. CMS will erase
the previous firmware, move new firmware from data flash to program flash
memory, calculate and store the new checksum, and reboot. Do not attempt to
reconnect to the CMS until the RDY indicator blinks to indicate the process is
complete.
.
Abort: To abort the procedure, type 2 and
press [Enter].
b.
5.
Incomplete Upload: If the upload is interrupted, times-out, or if the file is corrupted
during transfer, the CMS will display a screen which asks for user confirmation before
proceeding. To proceed, type 1 and press [Enter], then return to Step 4 above.
6.
Emergency Recovery: In the rare event that the CMS operating system becomes
corrupted during installation, front panel indicators will blink five times and the unit will
automatically switch to Emergency Recovery Mode. Please contact WTI Customer
Service for further instructions.

When firmware upgrades are available, WTI will provide the necessary files via modem or
