Networker for SN10X Software Installation
software can be operational.
Remote Installation
Download is achieved using one of the following ioftp programs supplied on the installation
disk:
IOFTPDOS.EXE
IOFTP32.EXE
SW2ALL.BAT
Along with appropriate packet drivers or Windows based TCP/IP protocol stacks. The IOFTP
program used must be the same software version as on the SN10X node being downloaded to.
Note: Network compatibility between different versions is not guaranteed.
Remote download is possible on all SN10Xs which are installed with software releases Beta
2v0 and later. It is NOT possible to do a remote download on SN10Xs with production release
1.5 nor maintenance release 1.55. In those cases, only a floppy disk installation is possible
You will require a PC with an Ethernet network card, or use an existing SN100 or SN102 which
already come supplied with networking capability.
1. Go to DOS at the console and make a new directory C:\SN100. If it already exists,
delete its contents
2. In C:\SN100, edit the SW2ALL.BAT
3. Change REM CALL SW2NODE Nodename ORipAddress1 to:
CALL SW2NODE sn100_1
CALL SW2NODE sn100_2, etc
where 'sn100_1 and SN100_2 are the network names of your SN nodes as defined in
their 220node.cfg files, or as seen using the IOFTPDOS WHO command.
4. If the node to be downloaded to is running v2.0 software, create a file called 220node.
cfg in the C:\SN100 directory containing:
my_nodeaddr = 193.195.164.99
my_nodetype = 10FTP
my_nodename = 10FTP
5. Make sure that the first 3 numbers match those of the node addresses. (This step is
unnecessary if the node is running v2.1 or later)
6. Run SW2ALL
