MODULAR X6 CCTALK VALIDATOR 89

FIRMWARE PROGRAMMING PROCESS
When it is necessary to modify the firmware of the Validator (the Sensor module and the Exit
module) due to updates or error corrections, Azkoyen will provide a file with the data to
transmit to the Validator. To locate this file with the data to transmit to the Validator the
information returned from the command REQUEST MODULES INFORMATION [96], is
necessary. The format of the file is indicated in the specifications.
The data corresponding to the Validator and that has been obtained from the file have the
same format as indicated in TELE-PROGRAMMING. The process of creating CCTALK strings is
the same as indicated in the previous section.
Notes:
a)
While transmitting the new firmware the power supply of the Validator should remain
stable. The programming process is prepared for cuts in the communication or in the
power supply so the Validator does not go out of order and the process can be repeated.
However, there is a risk of leaving the Validator permanently out of order if the power
supply is removed or suffers continuous interruptions during the programming of the
firmware process.
b)
If there is an error in programming the firmware and the Validator is only partially
programmed and does not respond correctly to the majority of the cctalk commands,
the process should be repeated from the beginning.
It will not usually be necessary to modify the programming of the coin data of the Validator
after modifying the firmware. Azkoyen will indicate if it is necessary to carry out the Tele-
programming of the Validator or not.
