Uploading to a Synergy MLC Controller

1. Setup terminal program (eg HyperTerminal) at:
    19200 baud (bps)
    8 data bits
    none parity
    1 stop bit
    ANSI terminal emulation
    hardware flow control
    direct to COM1 or COM2 (depends on your port).

2. Connect a NULL modem cable (hot cable) directly from
   the COM port to the COM port on the front of an MLC panel.

3. Press ENTER in the terminal program until a prompt ">" appears:

4. Type GET and press ENTER.  The MLC panel is now expecting
   you to send a program to it via Y-Modem.

5. Use the terminal program to transmit the file.  From Hyperterminal,
   Transfer - Send File, use the pulldown menu to select Ymodem, and
   type in the name of the file you want to send.  For the MLC
   application program, the file name is LITE.EXE.  This can be
   selected using Browse.  When this information in the box is
   correct, click on Send.

6. Monitor the upload, which for the LITE.EXE file takes about
   5 minutes.  When the terminal program indicates Done, not Fail, 
   the upload is complete.

7. Prior to restarting the MLC Controller, if you are upgrading 
   from version 0.28 or previous, please delete your 
   programming by typing the DEL and filename, followed by ENTER:

   > DEL ROOM.BIN
   > DEL PART.BIN
   > DEL GROUP.BIN
   > DEL RELAY.BIN
   > DEL HOLIDAY.BIN
   > DEL PASSWORD.BIN
   > DEL LOCATION.BIN
   > DEL SCHEDULE.BIN
   > DEL NAME.BIN
   > DEL STATION.BIN
   > DEL CS_LEVEL.BIN

8. If you want to attempt to re-program the unit with the same data,
   you can try to capture the data using Hyperterminal, and then copy
   the data to the clipboard, then paste the data back to the 
   command line.  The capture can be started by selecting Transfer,
   then Capture Text.  After selecting a filename, start the data
   dump by typing DATA and press ENTER.  When the data dump is 
   complete (END OF DATA), then end the capture file by selecting
   Transfer, Capture Text, Stop.

9. You can restart the system by typing EXIT and pressing enter.  
   Restarting takes about 10 seconds.

10. Verify that the new Synergy MLC program is running by typing VER at
   the command prompt and pressing ENTER, which displays the version info.

11. You can re-program the previous data using the keypad, the config
   tool, or by using the captured data file.

12. To reprogram using the captured data file, open the capture 
   file, select the programming that you want to re-program, and 
   copy the data to the clipboard.  In Hyperterminal, paste the 
   data at the commandline.  Note that some commands change from 
   version to version, and the programming may not be accurate.  
   Inspect your programming via the configuration tool, serial 
   console, or from the keypad.
