FlashPAK(TM) Personality Modules

FlashPAK(TM) Personality Modules

Description

The FlashPAK houses EPROM that is programmed with firmware that controls the operation of the FastPAD. The firmware consists of two components: system operating software and default configuration parameters.

The FlashPAK's EPROMs are programmed at the factory. However, flash EPROM technology allows the FlashPAK to be reprogrammed in the field. New firmware revisions can be downloaded from a personal computer via the local or remote asynchronous NMS port or via the StrataView FastPAD Network Management System. Contact StrataCom ISC for more information as needed.

Warning The FastPAD and FastPAD Micro FlashPAK modules are completely different hardware components. DO NOT attempt to install a FastPAD FlashPAK in a FastPAD Micro or vice versa.

Jumper Settings

The FlashPAK includes a security PAL and extra memory. The IC sockets are populated with flash EPROM memory chips. The eight jumpers on the FlashPAK must be set as shown below.
