5.1.5 Checking after updating that the updating has been reflected

Return to the top page of the web browser, click the "status view" link, check the firmware
version (running), and check that the version in the normal area (Flash #1) has been updated.
* At this stage, however, the original version of the firmware is still operating (the
"running" operation remains unchanged). Operation is started by the updated firmware
after the power is next turned on (or the RESET switch is pressed).

5.1.6 (Reference) Updating the backup codes

The procedure used to update the backup codes is virtually the same as the procedure for the
normal codes. To update the backup codes, except for inputting "flash0" (half-size lower-case
characters with no spaces) in the "ROM Area" input field, follow the same procedure as for the
normal codes. When the updating has been completed successfully, check that the version in the
backup area (Flash #0) has been updated.
* However, since the only time when the backup codes are updated is in special situations
such as when a fatal bug is found in the backup codes, the backup codes should not be
updated unless otherwise specified.
* Even when operation has been booted from either the backup area or normal area, the
firmware has the ability to rewrite the ROM data by itself. Therefore, if the firmware
ends up booting, it can be rewritten by communication between the PC and PCA-XIF
board without the use of a special tool (programmer). However, since a board whose
backup area is empty or whose data has been damaged cannot be booted, it will be
necessary to write the firmware using a programmer.

5.1.7 (Reference) Concerning the PC and network connections

The Ethernet interface of the PCA-XIF board does not have a function for automatic
crossover/straight LAN cable adjustments (AUTO-MDI/MDI-X function) so the switching hub
with an AUTO-MDI/MDI-X function must be used between the PC and PCA-XIF board. If the
board is to be connected directly to the PC, a crossover cable must be used.
The default IP address of the PCA-XIF board is 192.168.100.96/255.255.255.0, and the IP
address of the PC used to communicate with the PCA-XIF board must have the IP address that
belongs to the same network. (Recommended address: 192.168.100.10/255.255.255.0)

5.1.8 (Reference) Concerning telnet connections

Subsequent to Windows Vista, telnet which is the PC application for logging in to the PCA-XIF
board is not installed under the standard setup. However, a telnet connection with the PCA-XIF
can still be established by using TeraTerm whose installation is recommended using the
software (CXDI Control Software NE or CXDI Controller RF) setup.
When TeraTerm is to be used, first start up TeraTerm. Now, on the setting screen, set TCP/IP as the
connection method, the IP address of the PCA-IF board as the host address, Telnet (change from the
default of SSH) as the Service, and 23 (default) as the port number. Then press OK to initiate the telnet
connection.
When the telnet client is to be used, select [Control Panel] → [Programs] → [Windows functions enable
or disable], and enable [telnet client]. Then start the command prompt, input the "IP address of the telnet
PCA-XIF board", and establish the telnet connection.
The login prompt can be input simply by pressing return without entering the login name or password.
When XIF_GUEST> appears, login is completed. To log out, use the "bye" command.
