AutoSite User Manual 3-21
Updating Software
To update AutoSite system software and algorithm files on your MSM,
refer to the User Notes
accompanying the new software.
Booting from MSM
After installing the system software on the MSM, you can boot directly
from the MSM by doing the following:
1. Make sure that drive A is empty.
2. Reboot or powerup AutoSite.
When AutoSite boots up and does not find a disk in drive A, it boots
using the system software located on your MSM.
Storage Capacity
The MSM is partitioned into four logical drives, as follows:
Storage Suggestions
Drives C and D are reserved for user data; drives H and I are reserved for
system use. Although drives H and I can be written to and read from, we
STRONGLY suggest you use only C and D to store your data.
Limitations
Other than the file operations listed below, drives C and D on the MSM
can be used for all file operations that can be done with a floppy drive:
Backing up the MSM
We STRONGLY suggest that you periodically make backup copies of the
files on the C and D partitions of the MSM. If the MSM were to “crash,”
you could restore your data files to C and D from your backups, and you
could restore the system files from the AutoSite disks.
Adding a New Programming Module
To add device support to your AutoSite, simply plug in a new
programming module and you are ready to use the new device support.
To add additional programming capabilities to your AutoSite, simply
purchase a new programming module and insert it in AutoSite. The
“Options” section of Chapter 1 lists the available programming modules.

File Operation Comments
Format Disk
Format only C and D. Formatting H or I will
render your programmer inoperative until
you restore the system software from floppy.
Duplicate Disk
Drives C, D, H, and I cannot be duplicated
using the Duplicate Disk command.

Self-test
The Self-test command allows you to test circuits and subsystems in
AutoSite, verifying proper operation or isolating possible problem areas.
An automatic self-test is performed each time AutoSite is powered up.
Stopping Self-test
You can stop a self-test anytime during its operation. Press
C
TRL
+
Z
to
stop a self-test.
Running Self-test
To perform a self-test, perform the following steps.
Note: Unless otherwise noted, all references to TaskLink in this manual refer to
the DOS TaskLink product. TaskLink for Windows performs similar
operations using different user interface commands. Refer to the
TaskLink for Windows Getting Started Guide
and online Help for
additional information.
1. Start your terminal emulation software. If you are using TaskLink,
start TaskLink in administrator mode by entering
tl a
at the DOS
prompt. If you are already running TaskLink in operator mode, exit
TaskLink and restart it in administrator mode.
2. If you are using TaskLink, skip to step 8. Otherwise, reboot AutoSite
by cycling power.
3. Wait for AutoSite to complete the powerup self-test. The Self-test
LED goes out when the powerup self-test is complete.
Note: The powerup self-test takes approximately four minutes.
4. When the self-test is complete, you will see either the powerup screen
or a single angle bracket prompt “

”. If you see the powerup screen,
go to step 6.
5. Type
Z
↵
to display the powerup screen.
6. AutoSite displays the powerup screen and the following prompt:
Current terminal type = DEC VT100 (ANSI 3.64)
Do you want to select a new terminal type? (Y/N)
If the current terminal type matches the terminal type you are using,
press
N
↵
and go to step 8.
If the current terminal type does not match the terminal type you are
using, press
Y
↵
. AutoSite displays the default and current terminal
types and a list of the available terminal types. Select a terminal type
that matches the terminal you are using and press
↵
.
7. AutoSite responds with the following prompt:
Save terminal type as power on default? (Y/N)
Press
Y
↵
. AutoSite saves your current terminal type as the powerup
default and then displays the Main Menu, which is shown in
Figure 3-15.
