SEL-2701 Firmware IDs
SEL-2701 Firmware IDs
Your SEL-2701 contains internal software known as firmware. This firmware
consists of two programs, SEL
BOOT and the SEL-2701 executable. In order to
determine if your SEL-2701 is compatible with your host, you will need to
obtain the host and SEL-2701 firmware IDs. If you contact SEL for assistance
with your SEL-2701, you may also be asked for the firmware IDs of your
SEL-2701.
If you are unable to use the instructions below to collect the firmware IDs of
both the host and the SEL-2701, there may be an installation problem with the
SEL-2701. See Section 2: Installation for more information on SEL-2701
installation and initial checkout.
SEL-2030 Host
If your SEL-2701 is installed in an SEL-2030, follow the steps below to
determine the firmware IDs of the SEL-2030 and the SEL-2701.
Step 1. Connect your PC to the SEL-2030. You can either use a
Telnet session to the SEL-2030 or connect a C234A cable from
your PC serial port to the SEL-2030 front port.
Step 2. Start a terminal program. If you are using an Ethernet
network, use a Telnet application. If you are using a serial port
connection, start a terminal application. If you have connected
to the SEL-2030 successfully, you will see a prompt that
contains an * character when you press ENTER.
Step 3. Display the SEL-2030 firmware IDs. Enter the SEL-2030 ID
command. The response to the ID command is in compressed
ASCII and displays the firmware ID information, and a
checksum value for each line. The SEL-2030 executable
firmware ID is the string “FID=SEL-2030…,” and the
SEL-2030 SEL
BOOT firmware ID is the character string
“FID=SLBT-2030….”
Step 4. Display the SEL-2701 firmware IDs. Use the SEL-2030
SEL
BOOT ID n, where n is the port number where the
SEL-2701 is installed. The response to the ID command is in
compressed ASCII and displays the firmware ID information,
and a checksum value for each line. The SEL-2030 executable
firmware ID is the string “FID=SEL-2701…,” and the
SEL-2701 SEL
BOOT firmware ID is the character string
“FID=SLBT-2701….”
SEL-400
Series Relay Host
If your SEL-2701 is installed in an SEL-400 series relay, follow the steps
below to determine the firmware IDs of the relay and the SEL-2701.
Step 1. Connect your PC to the front port of the relay. You can
either use a Telnet session to the SEL-400 series relay or
connect a C234A cable from your PC serial port to the
SEL-400 series relay front port.
Step 2. Start a terminal program. If you are using an Ethernet
network, use a Telnet application. If you are using a serial port
connection, start a terminal application. If you have connected
to the relay successfully, you will see a relay prompt that
includes an = character when you press ENTER.
