After new Xilinx code is sent to the WAG, the new code is automatically stored in the WAG FLASH
memory and the boot code restarts, displaying the boot menu again.
If an invalid and non-Xilinx file is uploaded to the WAG, the WAG will reject the file. However if a
valid but not a “WAG” Xilinx file (not intended for use by the WAG) is uploaded, the WAG will
accept the file. If this occurs, the WAG will become unusable and will need to be returned to the
factory for repair.
If a file with a file name other than XILWAG_
x
.BIN is sent to the WAG, the WAG will not save the
new file to FLASH memory. The user will be prompted that the new file was not saved along with
the correct file name that is needed.
CAUTION
THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED IF INSTRUCTED BY
SIEMENS RAIL AUTOMATION PERSONNEL. THE WAG CAN BE DAMAGED
IF NOT PERFORMED PROPERLY.
After the new code is sent to the WAG, the unit automatically stores the new software in FLASH
memory.
CAUTION
ENSURE THAT THE XILINX FILE IS VALID FOR WAG USAGE PRIOR TO
UPGRADING THE WAG. IF THE WRONG XILINX FILE IS LOADED, THE WAG
WILL BECOME INOPERABLE AND WILL NEED TO BE RETURNED FOR
REPAIR
Refer to Section 5 for the procedures to upgrade the WAG Xilinx software.

TROUBLESHOOTING COMMANDS
This section describes additional troubleshooting commands that can be used.
6.5.1
Using TESTMODE
The TEST command puts the WAG into test mode. If TEST is entered without an argument, Test
Mode 0 is selected. If a test is under way and any TEST command is entered, the current test is
stopped and the new test is started.
TEST 0
Test 0 sends 1000 test frames to the Echelon and the Ethernet interfaces. If another
WAG is connected to the LAN, it echoes the frames back to the WAG under test. After
1000 frames are sent, a status report shows how many frames were sent and how
many were received on both interfaces. The user will also see a PASS / FAIL indicator.
TEST 1
Test 1 is a Spew Test. A test frame is transmitted out the Ethernet and Echelon
interfaces once a second until the test is stopped.
TEST 2
Test 2 is a serial port test that sends a test message out the serial interface until the
test is stopped.
