Task-Based Reference Downloading Program Files

Element Management System (EMS) 4.0 User Manual

To load a program file

1. Load programs from source CD-ROM to known folder on EMS computer.

2. In EMS, select names of a host/remote pair from View menu.

3. Click on the host or remote Prg Load tab (as appropriate) to view the host or

remote program load window, shown in Figure 42.

4. Click on the Select button and browse to find the program to be loaded.

5. Depending in whether the file being loaded is a control program or FPGA,

proceed as follows:

a. If loading a control program, click on the Compare button to verify that

the file you are about to load is a newer version (greater version number)

than the program than the file already loaded on the unit

b. If loading an FPGA, first check the FPGA Program field. If it contains

the word “UNKNOWN,” the unit has older type hardware with a non-

replaceable FPGA, so you cannot proceed. If the field contains a version

number, click on the Validate button to verify that the FPGA is functional

(working). When you get a message back that the FPGA is functional,

you can proceed.
