These error messages may be caused by any of the following items:
Corrupted firmware upgrade file.
Loose or defective RS232 cable.

Option 2. Send this Unit’s Main Program to other Units.
The main program or kernel program updates (Option 1) only have to be done on one port. Make sure power to all
Xtensys switches is “ON” and they are all connected using the appropriate expansion cables.
Press 4 to send the main program to all other units, all other cards.
Press 5 to send the kernel program to all other cards.
Before responding Y, make sure that the “Boards to update” number in the message above agrees with the total
number of boards in the entire system minus 1. If the number does not agree, reply N, turn on the inactive Xtensys
Units, and press 4 or 5 again. When you reply Y, the following message appears:
When complete, the system returns you to the serial options menu. Wait at least 15 seconds before restarting the
Xtensys after choosing option 4 or 5 for the program to propagate to the other cards in the system.
Option 3. Reset to Factory Defaults (This CPU card only)
NOTE: Before resetting any CPU card to factory defaults, note the starting computer number listed on the Serial
menu, Option 1. When resetting a CPU card to factory defaults, this number will be set to one (1) and must be
changed back to the original value by using option 1 to change the starting computer number and then saved using
option 7. In an expanded system, there cannot be two different Xtensys switches in the system with the same
starting computer number.
Selecting option 6 restores the CPU card to its original factory configuration. The following message appears:
When the factory defaults have been restored, the following message is displayed:
The serial options menu is then displayed, indicating that this CPU board has been reset to the factory defaults.
Option 4. Exit (Restart the Unit)
Selecting option 8 exits the serial option menu. The Xtensys switch will reinitialize and the diagnostic check will run.
After the diagnostic check finished, the Unit is ready to use with its new configurations. If there are more
configurations needed, hit the space bar within 5 seconds and the serial menu will be brought back up to use.
