File
Transfer Operations
You may transfer files between
your host computer (with the iconhmi.jar application) and the
ICON (the server) and perform file maintenance operations on
the ICON (delete, rename and copy) with these utilities.
Upload File from
Local Computer to ICON
Use this function to upload a file
from your local computer to the ICON. This could include actual
ICON programs (*.icn), help files (*.htm) or pictures (*.jpg
or *.gif). If you need to upgrade your ICON to the latest software
you may also load a new iconexe file.
- The amount of free disk space
on the ICON is displayed at the top of this box. Press the
refresh button (in the lower box) to ensure you are viewing
the correct value. From this you can determine if there is
enough free disk space to hold the file that you are about
to upload.
- Under "Upload file from local
computer to ICON" box, click on "Browse".
- Navigate to the folder that
contains the desired file if it is not already selected.
- Click to select your file
on your local disk drive.
- Click "Upload". (You can watch
the progress in the lower left corner.)
To update the ICON to the latest
version of the iconexe you must execute the following steps exactly
or you run the risk of losing the iconexe program and you won't
be able to restart your system:
- Download the latest iconexe
program from the web site at http://www.i-netcontrol.net/download.htm.
- You must unzip this file and
place iconexe on your desktop.
- Click the "Refresh" button
and check the "Server's available disk space". It must be
larger than the new iconexe file or the upload will fail.
- Under "Upload file from local
computer to ICON" click on browse and select your new iconexe
on your local disk drive.
- Click "Upload".
- After upload completes or
aborts click the "Refresh" button. (You can watch the upload
progress in the lower left corner of the window.)
- If you do not get an error
message the new iconexe file is uploaded to your ICON and
the old iconexe file is renamed iconexe.old. So after refresh
you will see two files, "iconexe" and "iconexe.old".
- If you get an error part way
through the upload, you may only be left with file "iconexe.old".
If this should occur, click to select iconexe.old and click
the "Copy" button. Enter "iconexe" for the name to copy and
click OK to copy. You can then try to determine what went
wrong and upload again. Cause of failures include insufficient
disk space for the new iconexe program or a very bad modem
connection.
- After a successful upload
you have the new version on your ICON but it is not executing.
- Wait several minutes for the
new program to actually get written to the flash disk.
- Next click the "Program tab".
- Pick "Password/system" from
the "System Parameter Config" selection set at the top middle
of the programming screen.
- Set "Watchdog type:" to Elan520
and click update if it is not already selected.
- Now select "Reset system"
from the "Watchdog" selection and click "OK".
- You will immediately lose
your connection to the ICON because it is rebooting.
- Re-connect after about one
minute. On the password screen you should see the new version
number of your new "iconexe" program.
To update hmi.jar applet:
- Place the latest version of
"hmi.jar" on your hard disk ander desktop.
- Make sure it is named "hmi.jar"
in lower case.
- Click the "Refresh" button
and check the "Server's available disk space".
- Click to select the hmi.jar
file under "Upload file from ICON to local computer" and click
rename. Now enter hmiold.jar and click "OK".
- Under "Upload file from local
computer to ICON" click on browse and select your new "hmi.jar"
on your local disk drive.
- Click "Upload".
- After upload completes click
the "Refresh" button.
- After you have successfully
uploaded the new hmi.jar to the ICON it will not be used until
the next time your web browser is started. Therefore you must
logoff from the ICON and close your browser. Then restart
and reconnect to the ICON.
- If using Internet Explorer
you can also do a "ctrl" reload to get a new version of the
hmi.jar file without closing the browser. For Netscape use
"Shift" reload.
- If using the Sun Java plugin
you will need to go to your control panel and delete the cache
under "Java Plug-in".
