To start using the LinkServer, you first need to create a trial AuthKey. This is done using a DS203.
|
After upgrading, don't forget to perform Quick Initialization -- press the setup button, release it, and then press it again for 4 seconds.
|
Perform the following:
| • | Connect the DS203 you want to convert to a Trial AuthKey to the computer, using a cross serial cable. Don't connect the power cable yet. |
| • | Extract the file -- it contains a BIN file (firmware) and a README. Note the location of the BIN file. |
| • | Under Access Mode, select Device Servers attached to the COM port. |
| • | Now press the SETUP button on the DS203. After pressing the button, connect the power cable. |
| • | The firmware will start transferring over to the DS203, and you will see a progress bar. |
| • | Once you get a message that the process is done, disconnect the DS203 from the power. |
| • | Power the DS203 again. Wait for a few seconds. Now you have to initialize it by Quick Initialization -- press the setup button, release it, and then press it again for 4 seconds. |
| • | That's it! Don't forget to set an IP address for the AuthKey, and you're ready to move on. |
