The reboot process takes approximately 60 seconds.
RIM-Protocol Converter User Guide - Version 1.0 A.2. Load Flash Firmware Using TFTP Loading firmware via TFTP (trivial file transfer protocol) requires a TFTP client. It may be possible to download a free license TFTP client from the internet. Consult your IT department to determine a compatible client program. Before updating the firmware, the firmware flash application must be exited and then erased as follows: 1.
RIM-Protocol Converter User Guide - Version 1.0 6. Send or PUT the firmware file to the Protocol Converter. It may take ~10 seconds for the firmware upload to begin. This will put the new firmware into effect. 7. After one minute, refresh the Protocol Converter webpage. Notice that the Flash Application field now contains the latest firmware. Click the “Start Application” button to reboot the unit. 58 www.chatsworth.
RIM-Protocol Converter User Guide - Version 1.0 A.3. Save a Configuration (.cfg) File If you would like to make a backup of your custom configuration or copy the same configuration to several Protocol Converters rather than changing the settings manually on each unit, save the configuration (.cfg) file. To save the .cfg file: 1. In the user interface, go to Configuration>System. Click the Download Configuration File .cfg link. The System webpage displays. Figure A.
RIM-Protocol Converter User Guide - Version 1.0 A.4. Load a Configuration (.cfg) File Once you have saved a configuration file as described in A.3., “Save a Configuration (.cfg) File” on page 59, you can load that file to the same Protocol Converter or other Protocol Converters. To load a configuration file (.cfg) to the Protocol Converter: 1. Ensure that the .cfg file you want to load is on a local drive. 2. On the Protocol Converter interface, go to Configuration>System. Figure A.8 System Page 3.
RIM-Protocol Converter User Guide - Version 1.0 A.5. Save a Device Configuration (.xml) File When you have a configured a specific device using the Protocol Converter’s interface, you can save that device configuration and load it to another device of the same type.

RIM-Protocol Converter User Guide - Version 1.0 A.6. Load a Device Configuration (.xml) File An .xml file that you have saved using the Protocol Converter’s user interface can be loaded to another device. This procedure may not work in all cases; some manufacturers use the same register set across different models of the same type of device, and others do not. To load an .xml file to a device: 1. Click the Device Configuration link in the top bar. Figure A.11 Device Configuration Link 2.
RIM-Protocol Converter User Guide - Version 1.0 5. Click Upload. One of three message displays: • XML file upload complete. • XML file cannot be upload - index base was not specified. If this occurs, retry the operation and specify a register number in the Index Base box. • File has been uploaded - but type is unknown. Proceed to step 6. 6.
RIM-Protocol Converter User Guide - Version 1.0 9. Revert to the preset registers or delete all register information as follows: • To revert to the preset values, indicate a Start Index number. This is the number of the register at which you want to begin the preset operation. If you choose to preset the register values, the following message displays when the operation is complete: 8036 registers preset at index 1 • If you choose Delete Device/Registers, all device information will be deleted.
RIM-Protocol Converter User Guide - Version 1.0 APPENDIX B TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Action Control Panel will not Power Up 1) Check with a DVM (Digital Volt Meter) for AC or DC input power on the lower left hand terminal block on the Protocol Converter. If no voltage is present at terminal block, check the circuit breaker or power supply that powers the Protocol Converter. Unable to see the web page 2) If voltage is present contact CPI for further troubleshooting.
RIM-Protocol Converter User Guide - Version 1.0 Problem Action Slave units are showing loss of communication. 1) Check the Device Configuration in the Protocol Converter and make sure the proper addressing is assigned. a) Modbus-RTU/485: The device address is set to the proper RTU address and the 485 communications line is wired properly. b) Modbus TCP/IP: The Proper device address and IP address has been assigned. Modbus TCP/IPcommunications requires port 502 of that IP address to be enabled/open.
