From the DOSTOOLS directory, type this command: 

 MAKE_A.BAT 

The batch file creates the image file named DRIVEA.BIN that contains 
all the files in the subdirectory DRIVEA. 

Connect the PC to the terminal through a serial connection. 

On the terminal, press ) ; 2 4 8 to access the TRAKKER 
Antares 2400 Menu System. The Main Menu appears. 

Choose System Menu > Upgrade Firmware, and choose OK to 
continue. The next screen appears prompting you to continue 
upgrading the firmware. In this case, you are not actually upgrading all 
the firmware. You will only be replacing the files on drive A. 

Choose Yes to continue and upgrade drive A. The terminal reboots and 
displays the Loader Waiting screen. 

On your PC, open an MS-DOS window and change to the 
DOSTOOLS directory. 

On your PC, type this command: 

 PUT_A.BAT 

The Loader screen appears and the DRIVEA.IMG file is transferred to the 
terminal and used to replace the contents of drive A. Once the batch file is 
complete and drive A is replaced, the terminal boots and displays the DOS 
prompt. 

 

Note: When you use PUT_A.BAT, you are replacing all files on drive A. 

Drive B is an optional read/write DOS drive. It contains an image of the 
external ROM-DOS commands that are available by default on the 
Trakker Antares terminal. Drive B resides as a subdirectory on drive C and 
is limited by the space available on drive C.  

As with drive A, the contents of drive B cannot be changed directly. To 
make configuration changes, you must use the DOS software tool 
MAKE_B.BAT.  

To change drive B, you must recreate the file DRIVEB.IMG. When you 
do, you are replacing all files on drive B.
