MVIUPDAT
MVIUPDAT.EXE is a DOS-compatible utility for downloading a ROM
disk image from a host PC to the MVI 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 COM1 or COM2 on
the PC and PRT1 on the 1756-MVI module.
2. Turn off power to the 1756-MVI module. Install the Setup
Jumper as described in the Installation Instructions.
3. Run MVIUPDAT.EXE on the host PC. Specify the PC port to be
used on the command line as shown below (the default is
COM1):
MVIUPDAT /PORT=COM2
4. Turn on power to the 1756-MVI module. You should see the
menu shown in figure 6.6 on the host PC.

IMPORTANT
Only one program at a time may access a serial port.
If you are using HyperTerm or a similar terminal
program for the MVI module console, exit or
disconnect from the serial port before running the
MVI Flash Update tool.
