3.4 Downloading a ROM Disk Image
3.4.1 MVIUPDAT
MVIUPDAT.EXE is a DOS-compatible utility for downloading a ROM disk image
from a host PC to the MVI-ADMNET module. MVIUPDAT.EXE uses a serial port
on the PC to communicate with the module. Follow the steps below to download
a ROM disk image:
1 Connect a null-modem serial cable between the serial port on the PC and
PRT1 on the MVI module.
2 If you are using HyperTerm or a similar terminal program for the MVI-
ADMNET module console, exit or disconnect from the serial port before
running the MVI Flash Update tool.
3 Turn off power to the MVI module. Install the Setup Jumper as described in
the Installation Instructions.
For DOS:
1 Click the START button, and then choose RUN.
2 In the OPEN: field, enter MVIUPDAT. Specify the PC port on the command line
as shown in the following illustration. The default is COM1.
3 Turn on power to the MVI module. You should see the following menu shown
on the host PC.

4 Select VERIFY MODULE CONNECTION to verify the connection to the MVI
module. If the connection is working properly, the message "Module
Responding" will be displayed.
Note: If an error occurs, check your serial port assignments and cable connections. You may also
need to cycle power more than once before the module responds.
5 Select UPDATE FLASH DISK IMAGE to download the ROM disk image. Type the
image file name when prompted. The download progress is displayed as the
file is being transmitted to the module.
6 After the disk image has been transferred, reboot the MVI module by
selecting the REBOOT MODULE menu item.
7 Exit the MVIUPDAT.EXE utility by pressing [ESC].
