Chapter 1: Introduction
Eltek Energy is a world leader in the development of new power supply systems, designed to meet the rapid growth within the field of telecommunication, as well as the increasingly stringent reliability requirements. With the introduction of microelectronics in electronic equipment, energy distribution and telecommunication and data systems technology require a guaranteed, uninterruptible power supply and to meet this demand, Eltek Energy make in-depth investments in all types of scientific research, technical development, and experimental mathematical modeling of thermal characteristics of components and systems. The ultimate in reliability is secured through innovative new technologies and topologies, which also reduce the size of the power blocks and extend the operating range, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing costs. Eltek Energy invests heavily in research and development - with highly qualified engineers and research scientists working with the most advanced development platforms available, we are able to offer tailor-made solutions - a key factor for penetrating new markets. A modern power supply system must fulfill various international standards and regulations while, at the same time, meeting market requirements. Increased awareness of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), especially in Europe, has resulted in Eltek's investment in an EMC test laboratory. This laboratory not only ensures that products comply with relevant standards, it is also utilized throughout product development. The EMC test laboratory forms part of Eltek's extensive in-house test facility. Electronic equipment for data and telecommunications require supply voltages generated from the AC mains, as well as from battery-assisted DC voltage. Intensive development work has produced power supply systems designed to meet both present and future power requirements, and the development of control and alarm modules make our power supply systems a market leader. Programmed functions monitor operating conditions, load and battery. Should problems be detected, the operator will be notified immediately, either via the telephone network, or via Ethernet. Shutdowns can thus be avoided for critical applications. Eltek's software expertise is constantly expanding the remote communication capabilities of our systems, using standard network protocols such as SNMP and HTTP. Eltek Energy AS accepts no responsibility for any damage or injury to the system, site or personnel caused by drawings, instructions or procedures not prepared by Eltek Energy.
Scope
Eltek's WebPower Adapter provides the user with an affordable, easy to use, platform-independent graphical interface solution. Combined with one of Eltek's AEON Gold, Smartpack, or Flatpack MCU system controllers, WebPower allows remote monitoring from anywhere within a corporate LAN, WAN, or VPN, or even across the Internet. In addition, the WebPower adapter provides an SNMP Agent, allowing Eltek power systems to be interoperable with SNMP enterprise management solutions, which are commonly in use within the Telecommunications industry.
Feature Outline
The following are some of the features of the WebPower adapter: Platform independence - the monitoring PC can be Windows, Macintosh, UNIX, Linux - any modern operating system and hardware platform that supports a standard Web browser capable of running Javascript. This includes many handheld devices such as PDAs and tablet PCs. Freedom from software installation and version control issues at the PC. All data is exchanged using standard HTTP Internet protocol. Field upgrades of the WebPower adapter firmware are possible over the network connection. No specialty hardware is required. Windows versions of the required software tools are provided free upon request to authorized users. Remotely updating all adapters in a given enterprise is possible from a single location by use of these tools and associated firmware binaries provided by Eltek. Feature upgrades and improvements are easily implemented by this process. Multiple concurrent browser connections are supported. This feature may be utilized for cooperative troubleshooting efforts, training purposes, or other collaborative, multi-user sessions. Access security is provided to restrict unauthorized attempts to alter system settings. Group level access control is provided, with three access levels defined. A truly embedded architecture provides protection of the WebPower adapter operating software. The operating firmware image is compressed into WebPower's internal flash memory and decompressed into RAM at boot up. All operations are executed from RAM, so there is no file system to corrupt or damage. This RAM area is not accessible externally, providing excellent security against malicious attacks. In the event of corrupted RAM, rebooting the device literally loads a fresh copy of the operating code. An embedded SNMP Agent provides standard SNMP traps upon occurrences of alarm conditions and allows GET and SET operations in order to retrieve data and perform remote operations on the power plant. Compatibility is ensured by the SNMPv1 implementation and inclusion of standard SNMP variables required for device discovery and polling. The appropriate MIB file is provided on the WebPower Companion CD-ROM shipped with each WebPower adapter.
Globally available remote access provides many advantages to the systems operation group. The graphical user interface built into WebPower features an environment familiar to Internet users. This document addresses in detail the operation of the adapter and the WebPower adapter interface.
Hardware Overview
The WebPower adapter is either a separate external unit or an internal system component. In addition, WebPower is also an integrated feature within the Smartconnect unit. This is determined by the system that was purchased, since certain systems are equipped with the internally integrated adapter, while others are not. If yours is an internal system component or is an embedded version, no wiring is necessary so you can skip the Hardware Installation section below. If you have an external adapter, you will need to perform the steps in the Hardware Installation section. There are no differences in the WebPower User Interface between the two versions of the adapter. The external WebPower adapter consists of a PCB housed in a metallic enclosure that is mounted in a convenient location. Normally, this enclosure resides within the power system cabinet, rack, or enclosure, but it can be externally mounted. In addition, the WebPower adapter may be integrated into a system monitor panel along with other PCBlevel subassemblies, in which case the connectors as described within this document may be relocated.
Dimensions
The enclosure is approximately 150 x 90 x 25 mm (6 x 3.5 x 1 inches).
Power Requirements
WebPower requires a DC voltage between 20 and 65 VDC at a maximum of 150mA to operate.
Connectors and Indicators

Serial Ports (External adapters only) Two serial ports are available. COM0 is a female DB-9 connector and is wired as a DTE (data terminal equipment) port. COM1 is a male DB-9 connector and is wired as a DCE (data communication equipment) port. Ethernet Port One RJ-45 connector is provided for connection to standard UTP network cabling. Both 10Mb (10Base-T) and 100Mb (100Base-T) connections are supported by the auto sensing network interface circuitry. Indicators Three (3) green LED indicators are provided. These are: 100Mb - indicates when the network connection has been auto detected as 100Mb Link - indicates that a physical layer Ethernet connection is detected Power - indicates that the WebPower adapter is receiving DC power and is operational Power Connector A two (2) position removable connector is provided for connection of DC power to the WebPower adapter. Polarity marking is provided adjacent to the connector and these must be observed to prevent damage to the power supply circuitry. WebPower is internally fused and reversal of the supply polarity will open the fuse and could possibly damage the device.
Hardware Installation
Note: When supplied as a system component, the WebPower adapter wiring will be factory-installed. If WebPower has been purchased as an upgrade or system add-on, consult this section for installation information.
Connection to System Controller

Connect the correct supplied RS-232 cable to the COM1 port on the WebPower adapter. The following is a list of the communication cables that are supplied, depending on your region and your system type: Smartpack AEON MCU Eltek part no. 30801.001 Eltek part no. 30801.001 or Eltek part no. 103821 Eltek part no. 100359 or Eltek part no. 30616
The cable must then be connected to a system controller port that supports the pComm protocol at 9600 baud for Aeon and MCU systems and at 38400 for a Smartpack system. The Flatpack MCU and Smartpack controller both have a single available serial port, while the AEON controller has multiple serial ports available. For an Aeon controller, you must connect to the DTE Com1 port. For a Smartpack controller, you must connect to the CON3 port and the Smartpack must be equipped with the RS-232 option. When connecting to the Flatpack MCU controller, the MCU must be configured to turn OFF the Modem Sense function. This is accessible through the MCU's Service Menus. See your MCU User Guide for details of this setting. If this setting is not correct, the WebPower adapter cannot communicate with the MCU.
Connection to Power
DC input power is connected to a removable terminal block. Terminal type is Weidmuller BLZ-5.00/180, 2 positions. Terminal accepts wire sizes of 22AWG to 12AWG (0.5mm to 2.5 mm). A small flat blade screwdriver is required to tighten the connections. Red wire is POSITIVE (+) and is toward the right in this photo.
Connection to Ethernet
Category 5 (or higher grade) UTP cable is required for connection. Connector is standard RJ-45. 10Mb and 100Mb Ethernet connections are supported. Standard TIA/EIA 568 wiring is used.
Software Overview
WebPower is essentially a protocol translator, where one communication protocol is "converted" into another protocol. In addition, WebPower provides a physical layer conversion between an RS-232 asynchronous serial link and a twisted pair Ethernet connection. The Web server function provides the user interface by translating the system controller messages into a form that is easily understood by the user. This Graphical User Interface (GUI) will be described in detail within this document.
Communication protocols
WebPower supports the following protocols: pComm binary master-slave communication protocol, reference TE241241.000-B4. This is Eltek's Local Area Control Network which is employed to communicate between the system controller and ancillary devices, such as WebPower. In the external WebPower adapters, serial port COM1 is dedicated to pComm communications. HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol) over TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol). Used to communicate with standard Web browsers. The 10/100Mb Ethernet port employs HTTP over TCP/IP communications. VT-100 serial terminal emulation protocol. In the external WebPower adapters, COM0 is dedicated to VT-100 communications, which are used for diagnostic purposes and for factory WebPower configuration. Default communication parameters are 115200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity bits, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. If you have an integrated WebPower adapter in your system, the serial ports are not available. FTP (File Transfer Protocol): This is used to both upload and download settings to or from the WebPower via a specially formatted delimited text file (*.csv). SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol): This provides the power system with monitoring, control, and alarming features via standard GET and SET operations and via SNMP trap messages. Telnet: This is used for low level communication configuration via a text-based interface.
Compatibility
The WebPower adapter firmware is interoperable with AEON, Flatpack MCU, and Smartpack controllers allowing the WebPower adapter to address any Eltek system application using these controllers. For additional compatibility information please see the readme.txt file on the WebPower Companion CD-ROM.
Setting up the WebPower adapter

In order to access WebPower via the Ethernet connection, TCP/IP networking must be installed and active on the client PC. Unless otherwise indicated, the default IP address of the WebPower adapter is 192.168.10.20. The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. A fixed IPv4 address is required; consult your network operations or Information Technology group before assigning an IP address within your specific address range.
Configuration via Ethernet

Using the supplied PC Utilities If a Windows PC is available, the IP address of the WebPower adapter may be changed using the IPSetup utility, which is provided on the WebPower adapter Companion CD-ROM. Locate the IPSetup.EXE file on the CD-ROM and launch this application. A list of all currently accessible WebPower adapters will be shown, along with their unique physical / MAC address. Highlight the unit that you wish to reconfigure, and enter the appropriate information in the associated text boxes. When all the settings are entered, click the "SET'" button to change the unit's IP configuration.
Figure 1-1: IPSetup Utility
This procedure may be performed on any WebPower adapter (or any other NetBurner-based device) on the network. Be careful that the adapter you are configuring is the correct unit. The IPSetup utility allows changing the IP configuration of a WebPower adapter without knowing the adapter's current IP address. Changes may be made from any Windows client that is physically connected to the same network as the WebPower adapter, regardless of the client's IP address (certain network restrictions may limit access by unauthorized devices). It is recommended that access to the IPSetup tool be limited and the WebPower Companion CD-ROM be stored in a safe, secured location. Note that the IPSetup and AutoUpdate utilities use the same connection mechanism and cannot be run concurrently Refer to the Firmware Updates section in this manual for more information. Using a Web Browser If a non-Microsoft operating system must be used, or if the WebPower Companion CD-ROM is unavailable, the IP address of the browsing computer can be set to an address in the same range as the factory-configured IP address of the WebPower adapter (see above). The browsing computer's IP address must be within the range allowed by the default subnet mask (192.168.10.1 to 192.168.10.19 and 192.168.10.21 to 192.168.10.254). If necessary, temporarily change the IP address of the client PC to conform to this range. Once a connection is established, the IP address of the WebPower adapter can be changed to the desired permanent IP address. For more information, refer to the Administrative Settings section in this manual for your specific controller.
Attention: When the WebPower adapter IP address and/or subnet mask is changed to a range outside that of the client machine, WebPower will be inaccessible to any computer within the original address range (before the change). After configuration of the WebPower adapter, the client computer's IP address and/or subnet mask can then be changed back to its normal IP address.
Using a Telnet Connection If a Web browser is not available during configuration, or if the initial SNMP parameters must also be configured, a Telnet session can be used to access the WebPower adapter's Serial Menu. Refer to the Using the Serial Utility section in this manual for more information.
Configuration via a Serial Connection

If an Ethernet connection is not available or if it is not possible or desirable to temporarily reconfigure the PC's IP address, an alternative procedure for external WebPower adapters is the serial connection option. Refer to the "Using the Serial Utility" section in this manual for more information.
For information about connecting to the WebPower interface and accessing the information, refer to the appropriate chapter for the controller that is installed in your system.
Chapter 2: WebPower General Access

WebPower is best displayed on a graphic adapter/monitor capable of 1024x768 pixel resolution or better at 16-bit or higher color depth. Lower resolutions / color depths are usable, but will result in reduced display quality and will require more scrolling to access some Web page contents. Turning off browser toolbars will provide additional vertical screen area and is suggested if a screen resolution of 800x600 must be used.

Web Page / Menu Structure

The WebPower adapter GUI uses "frames pages" (a type of HTML structure) to display related items and menus. A frames-capable browser is required to use WebPower. All commonly used modern Web browsers support the use of frames. Throughout the GUI, the top frame contains a menu bar with labeled buttons that link to lower-level pages. If applicable, the menu bar buttons will change to match the available sub-pages within a given area. In some areas, a frame may appear along the left side with additional related information and links to sub-pages. Sub-menus are accessible (visible) to all users, however certain sub-menus items are password-protected against changes. The following graphic is a hierarchal representation of the WebPower adapter menu structure. Note that certain menus/pages are only available to specific controllers and may not be visible.

Chapter 6: Serial Utility and Telnet Access

The Serial Utility and Telnet Interface provide alternative methods for setting various WebPower configuration options, such as the parameters of the embedded SNMP Agent. The Serial Utility instructions only apply to customers with an external WebPower Adapter; integrated WebPower adapters do not expose this serial port. If your system has an integrated WebPower adapter, you will need to use an Ethernet connection and the Telnet Interface of the WebPower adapter. Note that a Telnet connection can be used for either type of WebPower adapter, but some options require a serial connection. Refer to the individual controller chapters in this guide for configuration information. It is assumed that the user is familiar with the operation of a Telnet client. Use the following section as a guide when using Telnet to configure the WebPower adapter and/or embedded SNMP Agent. ATTENTION: CONCURRENT TELNET AND SERIAL CONNECTIONS OR MULTIPLE CONCURRENT TELNET SESSIONS, TO THE WEBPOWER ADAPTER ARE TO BE AVOIDED. ATTEMPTING TO ALTER SETTINGS UNDER SUCH CONDITIONS MAY CAUSE UNPREDICTABLE RESULTS. CLOSE ALL BROWSER WINDOWS BEFORE CREATING A TELNET OR SERIAL CONNECTION.
Serial Utility Requirements

Any PC hardware and operating system capable of communicating on an RS-232 serial port at 115200-baud rate, with a standard DTE serial port connector. A terminal emulation program capable of VT-100 terminal emulation. Examples are HyperTerminal, TeraTerm, and others. A standard DTE to DCE serial cable. This is a "straight-through" wired cable. The DCE end of the cable must be DB-9; the DTE end of the cable is determined by the PC hardware.
Getting Connected - Serial Utility

1. 2. 3. With DC power removed from the WebPower Adapter, attach the serial cable between the PC / terminal and the WebPower adapter's COM0 port. Launch a terminal emulator, such as HyperTerminal, and configure the necessary port settings per above. Apply DC power to the WebPower adapter. A message should appear on the terminal almost immediately (do not press "A" when prompted). A subset of the current TCP/IP parameters will be displayed, followed by a login prompt. Type in the "admin" username and the password, pressing Enter after each entry. By default, admin will be both the correct Username and Password.
Telnet Interface Requirements

Any PC with a Network Interface Card or built-in Ethernet adapter TCP/IP networking configured with a static IP address on the same subnet (standalone WebPower adapter without router). For router-equipped systems (i.e. Smartconnect), use DHCP to automatically acquire an IP address. A standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable (Smartconnect with router) or 568A to 568B crossover cable (WebPower standalone, without router). Telnet client application
49
Getting Connected - Telnet Access

1. 2. Attach one end of the appropriate Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on your computer and the other end to the craft port on the Smartconnect unit or the Ethernet port of the WebPower adapter. Assuming you are using a Windows operating system, open a Command Prompt window (example: in the Accessories area of the Windows Program Menu). In the Command Prompt window, type telnet 192.168.10.20 and then press Enter. Make sure you include the space between telnet and the IP address. Note that 192.168.10.20 is the default IP address of the WebPower or Smartconnect unit; if you have changed this IP address to a custom address, that new address must be entered instead. You will then be prompted to log in. Type in the "admin" username and the password, pressing Enter after each entry. By default, admin will be both the correct Username and Password.
3.
Menu Options
After successfully logging in, the main menu should be displayed. The six menu selection options are described below.
Setup Network Addresses

If you are using the Serial Utility, you have the option in this area to change any or all of the following network settings for the WebPower adapter: the IP Address, the Netmask, the Default Gateway, and the DNS Server. These parameters should be determined in cooperation with the network administration / Information Technology staff. Note that router-equipped WebPower solutions (Smartconnect) may have particular factory settings necessary for operation; do not alter these settings without fully understanding the implications. If you are using the Telnet Interface, you will not be able to change certain settings.

Selecting this option will display the version information for WebPower. This information may be required by factory personnel during service correspondence.
SNMP: Trap Host Configuration

If you select this option, you will be presented with three suboptions: Set IP Addresses & Community, Set Trap Repeat Rate, and Set Off Trap. SNMP traps are unsolicited messages sent to the network management system informing the manager of an event that has occurred, as monitored by the embedded Agent.
51
Set Trap IP Addresses & Community String If you select this option, you will need to specify the number of the table entry that you want to modify.
You will then need to enter the new trap client IP address and community string for the chosen table entry. The Community String can be a combination of 19 characters, numbers, or spaces. Valid characters are A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and the special characters ~@#%^&_-+=:,. Do not use the asterisk or any other special character not shown. Note that spaces are valid characters, but leading spaces are ignored.
52
Set Trap repeat rate config If you select this option, you will need to set the repeat rate between 0 and 10 minutes. Choosing 0 will turn this feature off. The number specified will determine how often Trap messages are resent to the NMS, while a given event/alarm remains in the "active" (alarm) condition. Changing this setting requires the WebPower to be rebooted.
Set Off Trap config Within this option, you can enable the Send Off Trap feature. This feature will send a trap message whenever an event or alarm condition has cleared. Changing this setting requires the WebPower to be rebooted.
SNMP: NMS Configuration

There are two options within this section: Set Read Community string and Set Write Community string. All OIDs within the MIB construct support the GET ("read") operation. Certain OIDs also support the SET ("write") operation.
Set Read Community string This is the Community String name that is used to determine NMS read-only level access to the SNMP Agent, for OIDs that support the GET operation.
53
Set Write Community string This is basically the Community String name that is used to determine NMS read-write level access to the SNMP Agent, for OIDs that also support the SET operation.
Note: See the "SNMP: Trap Host Configuration" section for Community String limitations.
Set pComm Baudrate

If you have an integrated Webpower adapter in your system, you should not need to change this setting. If you have an external WebPower adapter, you should select the option that matches the type of system that you have. Select either 1 for Smartpack/eNexus (38400bps) or 2 for AEON or MCU (9600bps).

Not yet implemented in the AEON, MCU, or Smartpack versions. rectifiersStatusTables rectifiers Status Tables is not implemented for AEON systems. Alarms that cover two levels may skip the 'minor' step when an abrupt change in the source status occur. When the source status of a two-level alarm goes directly from 'normal' to 'major', the traps perform the same change. Node 3 (alarmMinorHighBattVoltAlarm), Node 4 (alarmMinorLowBattVoltAlarm), and Node 6 (alarmMinorBatteryHighTempAlarm) are not implemented in AEON and will always remain off. Node 18 (alarmBatteryLifeEnded) is not implemented in either AEON or MCU and will always remain off. The Read and Write Community Strings do not work properly. When the SNMP device is set for "Read Community: Public" and "Write Community: Private", NMS must be set for "Read Community: Public" and "Write Community: Public" in order to read and write properly to any OID. Midpoint Indexes and ID are read-only in SNMP. There is nowhere to enable these in WebPower.

WebPower GUI
1. In an MCU system, there is no timer that resets the relay to its original state after testing. The individual relays must be set manually to their original positions before leaving this page, otherwise, they will remain in their test state. Within the WebPower interface of an MCU system, the following voltage alarm set-points cannot be set: Battery Voltage Major-High Battery Voltage Minor-High Battery Voltage Major-Low Battery Voltage Minor-Low The Disconnect/Reconnect LVD voltages can be changed through SNMP, but there is no way to control their state directly through SNMP (like a relay test function or Remote Battery Disconnect). When values are changed through the controller front panel, the Webpower and SNMP values remain unchanged for up to 2 - 3 minutes while the controller communicates with the various components of the system. The updated values will then be displayed. Some examples of screens where this is the case are the Maximum Current, HighVolt1, HighVolt2, LowVolt1, and LowVolt2 settings. For the Boost features, there is no SNMP OID for Max. Boost interval.

Chapter 7: FTP Upload Information

The following information pertains to the option of uploading information for your system via an FTP client. This option is only available to Smartpack users. A common settings file is available for uploading from Eltek. If you are logged in to PowerSuite, click Tools, Configurator, and then Read from Smartpack to view additional datapoint locations. To use the FTP upload option, perform the following steps:
1.
Launch Internet Explorer, type FTP://192.168.10.20 in the address line, and then press ENTER. This assumes you are utilizing a connection via the local Craft Port. If you are connecting from the WAN side of the router, use the WAN side IP address instead of 192.168.10.20. When prompted, log in with the admin user account and password (this is the same as WebPowers admin user account). After logging in, the following screen will be displayed. Notice that the SETUP.CSV file does not appear in the remote directory.
2.
3.
4.
Open a file browsing session and navigate to the location of the SETUP.CSV file that is to be uploaded. Select the file, right-click, and then click Copy.

5.
Next, right-click in the browser session that is connected to the WebPower FTP server and click Paste.
6.
During the file transfer, a dialog box showing the progress of the transfer will be displayed.
7.
Once the transfer is complete, the remote directory will show that the SETUP.CSV file has been transferred. Refreshing this window will show that the file does not physically persist on the FTP server.

Chapter 8: Firmware Updates

Updating the WebPower adapter operating code ("firmware") is easily achieved. WebPower's hardware platform provides flash program storage for simple code updates - over a network connection from any Windows PC that can access WebPower. Using the PC utilities provided on the WebPower Companion CD-ROM, this loading process can be conducted across an entire network from a single location. This remote update capability is a major advantage to the WebPower hardware platform. Recognizing the platform-independence of WebPower, a serial update procedure is included here for users of nonWindows operating systems. This serial update process cannot be conducted remotely. Firmware binary files are available from Eltek Energy whenever feature improvements are released. In most cases, Eltek sales agents are able to provide these updates free of charge to existing users.
Updates using the PC utilities

After obtaining the firmware binary from Eltek, save the file to your PC. Browse the WebPower Companion CDROM and locate the AutoUpdate.exe file. This application provides the means to remotely load a new operating image into the WebPower adapter. Launch the application; the following screen should be displayed:
Click the "Reboot when complete" checkbox, as shown above. Use the "Browse" button to select the firmware file previously saved to your PC. Note that the file must follow the syntax "xxxxx_app.s19"; where "xxxxx" can be any character string. The utility will not recognize files that do not conform to this naming convention. The IP address field will be populated with the first WebPower adapter discovered by the application. By using the Find button, a list of all WebPower adapters will be displayed, as follows:
Highlight the adapter to be updated and click the OK button. The screen will close and revert to the main screen. Click the "Update" button and wait until the process is completed, as indicated by a progress bar and message box. The WebPower adapter has now been updated, rebooted, and is running the new application code. Note: The IPSetup and AutoUpdate utilities use the same connection mechanism and cannot be run concurrently.

Updates via a serial connection

A serial terminal emulation application (client) is required on your PC. The WebPower adapter has an embedded boot loader that provides a flash loading capability over a serial connection. The following process employs the serial loader to allow updates to adapters when an Ethernet connection and/or Windows PC is not available. It is assumed that the user is somewhat familiar with the operation of a terminal emulator application (example: Hyperterm for Windows platform).
Requirements
Any PC hardware and operating system capable of communicating on an RS-232 serial port at 115200-baud rate, with a standard DTE serial port connector. A terminal emulation program capable of VT-100 terminal emulation and binary file transfer. A standard DTE to DCE serial cable. This is a "straight-through" wired cable. The DCE end of the cable must be DB-9, while the DTE end of the cable is determined by the PC hardware.
Procedure
1. 2. 3. 4. With DC power removed, attach the serial cable between the PC and the WebPower adapter's COM0 port. Launch the terminal emulator, as applicable, and configure the port settings as needed. Apply DC power to the WebPower adapter. A message should appear on the terminal almost immediately stating the following: "Waiting 2 sec to start 'A' to abort". Before the 2 seconds expires, press "A" (capital A) and the Boot Monitor Prompt "NB>" should appear If the time elapses, WebPower will start and it will be necessary to cycle power to the adapter and begin again. At the NB> prompt, type FLA and press ENTER. FLA stands for Flash Application. Send the firmware (.S19) file by selecting the Transfer->Send File option from the terminal application (if a "binary" mode is provided, use binary mode). As the download progresses, a "*" character will appear in the terminal window and the progress bar in the lower left hand side of the window will move towards the right. Upon completion of the transfer, the WebPower adapter is updated. It will then reboot and will be running the new application code.
5. 6. 7. 8.
If errors are reported during the serial transfer, it may be necessary to add "line pacing" in the terminal settings. Typically, this is not required, but in some cases an additional 1 millisecond per line pacing will prevent errors where long serial cables are involved.
