6.15.2. Upload Setup via USB Thumb Drive
It is possible to change Satlink’s setup by plugging in a USB drive that contains the new setup.
LinkComm’s Setup files can be exported by LinkComm and then copied to a USB drive such that
they will automatically installed when the USB drive is plugged into the USB Host slot in SL3. The
setup is specific to the station. For every station you wish to setup, a different setup file must be
created and placed on the drive.
To update Satlink’s setup with a USB drive:
Use LinkComm to create a setup.
Use LinkComm’s export setup menu option to create a setup file.
The setup file must be named “StationName_setup.txt”, where “StationName” is the
current name of the station that will have its setup updated. If you do not know the
name of the station to update, you will not be able to update it with the USB thumb
drive.
Copy the setup file to a USB drive and place in in the \Sutron\Satlink\StationName
directory, where StationName is the current name of the station that will have its setup
updated.
Plug the USB drive into the Satlink.
After the setup has been processed it will be renamed to prevent it from being processed in the
future (ex: "TestStation_setup_installed.txt"). This means you cannot use the same setup file to
update multiple stations.
Example: to upload a new setup to the station named “TestStation”, place the setup file in the
following folder of the USB drive: \Sutron\Satlink\TestStation\TestStation_setup.txt. Then plug
the thumb drive into the SL3 USB Host connector.
6.15.3. Update the Firmware via USB Thumb Drive
The firmware is Satlink may be upgraded with a USB drive. To do so, place the upgrade files (eg:
SL3EuropaActual_800r1811.sl3u) in the Satlink folder of a USB drive. When the USB drive is
inserted into SL3 USB Host, SL3 will look for the upgrade file and check to see if the station is
running an older version of firmware. The version and revision numbers in the file name are used
to make this determination. If the revision on the USB drive is newer than what Satlink is
running, Satlink will be upgraded.
Example: to upgrade the firmware to 801r1900, place the upgrade file in the following folder of
the flash drive and insert the flash drive into the USB Host:
\Sutron\Satlink\SL3EuropaActual_801r1900.sl3u
Upgrade files are shipped with LinkComm and may be found in the same directory that
LinkComm is installed in.
