2.3 Upgrading the MEMORY HiLOGGER Software
______________________________________________________________________________________________
NOTE During the upgrade operation, do not turn off the MEMORY HiLOGGER's power.
If the power is turned off during the upgrade operation, the instrument must be
returned for re
p
air.
2.3 Upgrading the MEMORY HiLOGGER Software
To use the 9334 LOGGER COMMUNICATOR, the software in the
MEMORY HiLOGGER must be 9334 compatible. First check the
MEMORY HiLOGGER software version number; you can find it on the
System screen of the MEMORY HiLOGGER.
9334-compatible versions are Ver 1.01 or later (8420-01, 8421-01), Ver 1.00
or later (8422-01), or Ver 3.00 or later (8420-51, 8421-51, 8422-51). When
the MEMORY HiLOGGER software is not compatible with a 9334, upgrade
it.
1. Prepare a PC card (Flash ATA card) that has been certified for use with
MEMORY HiLOGGERs. For PC cards whose use is certified for these
devices, refer to the MEMORY HiLOGGER Operating Instructions.
Further, make sure that the PC card is compatible with the computer you
are using. At least 2 MB of free space is required when using a PC card.
2. Insert the supplied CD-R disc into the CD-ROM drive.
3. Copy the upgrade file from the CD-R to the PC card. The upgrade files
are located in each model's folder. The upgrade file for the 8420-01 and
8421-01 is "8420V110.PRG" (located in the 8420V110 folder). The
upgrade file for the 8422-01 is "8422V105.PRG" (located in the
8422V105 folder). The upgrade file for the 8420-51, 8421-51, and 8422-
51 is "8420V307.PRG" (located in the 8420-50V307 folder).
If a 9334-compatible version of the MEMORY HiLOGGER software is
already present, no upgrade is required. However, be careful not to install
an older version inadvertently.
4. Prepare the MEMORY HiLOGGER for the upgrade. Ensure that a stable
power supply for the upgrade operation is used, if possible using an
uninterruptible power supply. This is important, because if the power fails
during the upgrade operation, the instrument must be returned for repair.
5. Carry out the upgrade.
Insert the PC card into the MEMORY HiLOGGER and press the Card key
to display the File screen. The upgrade files on the PC card are shown in
the File screen. Select an upgrade file, then read the file. The MEMORY
HiLOGGER starts the upgrade. This process takes about 2 minutes:
During this interval, simply wait for the process to finish. When the
upgrade is completed, the MEMORY HiLOGGER automatically restarts.
The upgrade is then complete.

2.4 LAN Settings
______________________________________________________________________________________________
CAUTION Before connecting to the LAN for the first time, it is important to complete the
Interface settings. If the instrument is connected to the LAN without making
these settings, IP address conflicts with other devices on the network or
other problems may occur.
Host Name (up to 12 characters) : __________________
IPAddress :____
.____.____.____
Subnet Mask : ____.____.____.____
Default Gateway (present or not present, when present)
: ____.____.____.____
TCP/IP Port Number : ____X
You can set the upper three decimal digits of the port address
(the rightmost digit is set internally by this device).
2.4 LAN Settings
Preparations for the settings
First, when connecting to an existing network, it is necessary to obtain the
settings from the network administrator. You will need to obtain the
following from your network administrator.
Host name
This is the name of the MEMORY HiLOGGER on the network. It must
be distinct from the host names of all other devices on the network.
IP address
This is the identifying address of the MEMORY HiLOGGER. It must be
distinct from the addresses of all other devices on the network.
Subnet mask
This specifies the class (size) of the network.
Default gateway
If communications between the MEMORY HiLOGGER and the computer
pass through a gateway, specify it.
TCP/IP port number
This is the port used for TCP/IP communications between the MEMORY
HiLOGGER and the computer. Normally, the default 880x ports can be
used, but if these ports are already used by a different program on the
computer, specify different ports.
When the port number is specified as "880x" the ports used are as follows:
Port 8800: for the logger communicator
Port 8801: reserved
Port 8802: for control by communication commands
Ports 8803 to 8809: reserved
Use unavailable ports on the computer running the 9334 software.
Note that the ports are mapped to IP addresses, and do not have any relation
to the ports used by other devices on the LAN.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________
2.4 LAN Settings
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Of course, if you are assembling a stand-alone network with no connections
to an existing network, you can still obtain the address information from the
administrator, or assign the setup values yourself if there is no administrator.
An IP address within the following range is recommended when setting up a
stand-alone network: 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255.
However, the last number on the right may not be 0 or 255, so we
recommend setting the controller device (such as the PC) to 192.168.0.1, and
setting this instrument to 192.168.0.2.
If several MEMORY HiLOGGERs are connected, the last number should be
incremented by one for each instrument (for example, the next instrument
would be 192.168.0.3). The Host Name should be carefully selected to be
unique among the Host Names assigned to all the other devices.
Otherwise, the following settings should be satisfactory:
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway : OFF
Port Number : 880X
MEMORY HiLOGGER Settings
Carry out the MEMORY HiLOGGER settings in the Settings screen. For
more on how to display the Settings screen, refer to the MEMORY
HiLOGGER Operating Instructions.
Do not change the settings during a communications session.
Make sure that you enter the host name.
The delimiter and header settings are used for control by communications
commands.
Computer Settings
Using this software requires that the computer have a LAN connection
installed. For details on the LAN settings, consult Windows Help, or the
documentation supplied with your computer's LAN card. The computer must
also have TCP/IP.
