Section 5 DLP-11 ATLAS 550 System Manual
Perform the following steps in the order listed.
1. Connect to the ATLAS 550 using the back panel’s RJ-48 ADMIN or front panel’s DB-9 CRAFT
interface.
If you are not already connected to the unit’s ADMIN or CRAFT interface, either with a
VT100 compatible terminal or with a PC running VT100 emulation software, follow the procedure in
DLP-1, Connecting a VT100 Terminal or PC to the ADMIN or CRAFT Port. Connecting to the ADMIN
or CRAFT interface limits the configuration transfer procedure to XMODEM only.
2. Log in to the unit using the read-write password (see DLP-2, Logging in to the ATLAS 550, for details).
3. Go to the SYSTEM UTILITY menu and select CONFIGURATION TRANSFER menu; press
4. Set the TRANSFER METHOD menu to XMODEM.
5. Select LOAD AND USE CONFIG to start the transfer. Enter Y to confirm the transfer and prepare the
ATLAS 550 for the transfer download.
The ATLAS 550 system is rebooted immediately after a configuration is successfully
loaded. No additional confirmation is requested, and any online sessions will be
terminated.
When the ATLAS 550 is ready to receive the XMODEM configuration file, the menu screen clears and
displays Awaiting XMODEM Upload.... twice to Cancel. If this does not appear, please
review the preceding steps above for possible configuration errors.
6. From the terminal emulation software, begin the XMODEM transfer by using the appropriate command
sequence. For Windows HyperTerminal, select TRANSFER>SEND FILE. Enter the filename (including
path) and select XMODEM as the transfer method. ATLAS 550 configuration files should have a .cfg
extension.
If necessary, refer to the terminal emulation software documentation for help.
Because XMODEM data is being transferred inband through the menu interface, the VT100 menus of
the ATLAS 550 will be inoperable during this procedure from the ADMIN or CRAFT interfaces. You
can cancel the update at any time within the terminal emulation software. (Please consult the
documentation provided by the terminal emulation software to determine how to do this.)
7. View CURRENT TRANSFER STATUS to verify the progress of the current upload.
8. When the transfer is complete, the ATLAS 550 reboots and the LOGIN screen appears. The unit is now
operational.
