LX-800 to T10 Upgrade Procedure

The T10 is a small, high-performance, embedded computer system on a single STD-Bus board. It integrates several popular I/O options including six serial ports, digital I/O, M.2 SSD storage, USB, display port and network. The T10 is based upon an Intel Atom E900 (Apollo Lake-1) processor, supporting up to 8 GB LPDDR4 2400 MT/s system memory.

The T10 is designed to replace the LX-800 in the STD bus cage of our APU-102. The document herein describes the procedure of replacing the LX-800 with the T10.

Parts:

• 402268: T10 (Wayside Processor Board)

Other:

• Laptop computer with capability to connect to APU-102 via ethernet port.
• Communication program such as Tera Term, HyperTerminal, Secure CRT, or any program that supports ZMODEM. This excludes Putty.

Upgrade Procedure

Save Parameters From the LX-800

1. Connect to the APU-102 through the ethernet port.
2. Log in to the supervisor menu.
3. Enter the <ep> command to edit parameters.

ATTENTION:

Be very cautious while editing parameters. Make sure to only make changes listed here.

1. Enter the <df> command to begin a file download.
2. Enter a name for the new file.
   1. For example purposes, “upgrade.prm” will be used in this document.
3. Copy all the parameters to the upgrade.prm file by entering
   <zsend upgrade.prm>.
4. Once completed, note down the name given to the file, as the file will be transferred to the T10 later.
5. Enter the <dp> command to display parameters.
6. Navigate to Session 1 in the display parameters menu.
7. Enter “3” to access AEI Report Connect.
8. Locate the AccessFileName parameter and make note of what value it is set to. This is one of the files to transfer to the T10.
   1. For example purposes, “PALFTPC2.ACC” will be used in this document.
9. Note down another file to transfer later. This file should have the same name as the file set in the AccessFileName parameter, but with a different file extension.
   1. For an FTP configured site, note the file extension as “.INI”.
      e.g. PALFTPC2.INI
   2. For an SFTP configured site, note the file extension as “.BAT”
      e.g. PALFTPC2.BAT
10. Enter “8” to access the Ports parameter menu.
11. Navigate to Ethernet.
12. Note down all information listed to check against the uploaded file later.
13. Enter the <zsend> command with the value DNSTableFileName is set to.
    1. For example, <zsend dns.dat> will send “dns.dat”.

Remove the LX-800 and Install T10

1. Power down the APU-102.
2. Remove all ribbon cables from the LX-800 and pull the board from the STD bus cage.
3. Insert the T10 board into the STD bus cage and install ribbon cables.

ATTENTION:

The “Component Side” is the side with the WIN SYSTEMS SOM on it.The 50 pin header is on the “BOTTOM SIDE” of the PCB with respect to a STD Card cage. Catastrophic failures can happen if this is plugged into the STD Card Cage BACKWARDS (rotated 180°).

Install parameters on T10

1. Log in to supervisor menu.
2. Confirm the files uploaded from the LX-800 are under the correct filename using the <dir> command.
   1. For example, <dir upgrade.prm> will search for “upgrade.prm”.
3. Enter the <ep> command to edit parameters.
4. Load the new parameters file onto the T10 using the <LF> command.
   1. For example, “LF upgrade.prm” will load “upgrade.prm”.
5. Use the <Esc> key to navigate back to the supervisor menu.
6. Enter <shell commit> to commit your changes.
7. Reboot the APU-102.
8. Log in to supervisor menu.
9. Use the <zrec> command to receive the following files:
   1. Enter the filename noted from DNSTableFileName.
      For example, <zrec dns.dat>
   2. Enter the filename noted from AccessFileName.
      For example, <zrec PALFTPC2.ACC>
   3. Enter the corresponding AccessFileName .INI or .BAT file noted.
      For example, <zrec PALFTPC2.INI> or <zrec PALFTPC2.BAT>.

Verifying Changes

1. Log in to the Supervisory menu.
2. Enter the <dp> command to display parameters.
3. Navigate to Session 1 in the display parameters menu. Menus 1-5 and 7 of Session 1 will be checked.
4. Enter "1" to access the Site Information. Assess if the owner information is set as desired.
5. Enter "2" to access AEI Report Opts. Assess if the Host Reporting parameters are set as desired.
6. Enter "3" to access AEI Report Connect. Assess if the AccessFileName parameter is set to the value noted in the previous sections. Ensure that PortFile is set to "Ethernet.dat".
7. Enter "4" to access Maint Report Opts. Ensure ReportEnable is set to "1" if maintenance reports are desired.
8. Enter "5" to access Maint Report Connect. Assess if the AccessFileName parameter is set as desired.
9. Enter "7" to access the T94 menu. Assess if the T94 format file is set as desired.
10. Navigate back to the Supervisory menu using <Esc>.
11. Enter <tda204> to access the TDA204 menu and calibrate the null values as necessary.
12. Exit the TDA204 menu, and enter the <dp> command to display parameters.
13. Enter "7" to access the Acquisition menu.
14. Enter "1" to access the wheel sensor parameters.
15. Assess if the wheel sensor parameters are set as desired.

If any parameters are not set to the value desired, the <ep> command can be used to open the edit parameters menu. Parameters can be edited and navigated the same way as the display parameters menu.
