Upgrade the Application

The Xpert application (Xpert.exe and associated dlls and slls, as well as remote.exe) can be
upgraded using the steps outlined in this section. Use great caution here, as mixing different
versions of slls and dlls can cause very strange, hard to diagnose, behavior.

Download either the serial or storage card upgrade from the Sutron website, at the following
address:

www.sutron.com/downloads/software.htm

. The upgrade typically comes in a zipped

archive, and typically has a name similar to “Xpert2 vX.X.X.X.zip”. Once downloaded,
unzip the archive onto your PC. The Xpert application consists of Xpert.exe, all dll files
(*.dll), and all standard sll files (those files with *.sll extension that do not appear in the
“extra sll” directory). Of course, you may also use one or more sll files in the extra sll
directory.

Start hyperterm or other terminal program on a PC. Set the baud rate to 115,200. Connect the
COM1 serial port to the Xpert. If you intend to transfer files via ethernet, connect the Xpert
to a network that supports DHCP using an ethernet cable.

Power up the Xpert. Press Ctrl-C in response to the message “Press Ctrl-C to skip execution
of Autoexec.bat”. You should then see "Bypassing \flash disk\Autoexec.bat, running
Remote" in the next few lines. If you do not, simply repeat this step until you do.

If you intend to use ethernet and the ethernet port lights are off, issue the command “lanon”.
If you intend to perform serial transfers, close the terminal program. In any case, run XTerm
and connect to the Xpert.

Press the XTerm “File Transfer” button on the right of the XTerm display. This will bring up
a dialog showing a list of Xpert files in the right pane, and a list of PC files in the left pane.
Make sure the right pane is showing files in the “Flash Disk” subdirectory.

Change the directory in the left pane to the directory containing the upgrade files, and select
the files you want to send to the Xpert (note: you can select multiple files by holding down
the Ctrl key with each new selection).

Press the ==> button to transfer the files to the Xpert. Press OK to start the transfer and wait
for the transfer to complete.

When finished, reboot the Xpert.

NOTE: Xpert app now contains some additional checks to ensure the correct version of ssl/dll is
loaded. If the app detects an incorrect version, it WILL NOT load that sll/dll. If this happens, a
warning message is shown on boot-up and a warning message will be placed into the system log
indicating what version was found and what is expected. If this happens, simply copy the correct
version of dll/sll onto the flash disk and re-boot the unit.
