Introduction
The Distributed Discrete Input/Output (DDIO) / Digital Combination Input/Output (DCIO) firmware can be
upgraded in the field using a web browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox. NovaTech provides the
respective firmware file(s) through its support website (http://www.novatech-llc.com/support/). If desired,
the required file(s) can be provided on a CD. This document explains the steps involved in loading new
firmware to the DDIO/DCIO.
Although the screen images presented in this document represent a DDIO configuration, the DCIO
screen images are identical to those for the DDIO. If a DCIO is being updated, the headings and menu
titles will indicate DCIO rather than DDIO. Otherwise, the update process is exactly the same for both
units.
Note: If the files listed below are not available, do not proceed with this update! Contact NovaTech
Technical Support in order to obtain the correct files. After the correct files have been received,
the DDIO/DCIO update process can be started.
The files necessary for this update are:
update_4MB_ramfs.tar.gz
update_07-26-2012.tar.gz
Depending on the current firmware of the DDIO/DCIO, not all files may be necessary for the update.
However, all of the files should be accessible in the event that they are needed for the update.
The firmware is updated using the DDIO/DCIO’s webpage. To perform this update in an effective and
timely manner, the operator should have a working knowledge of computer browser operation and a
familiarity with standard computer ports. In addition, the operator must have physical access to the
DDIO/DCIO, and have the root user password to the DDIO/DCIO.
The update process requires one of the following browsers. Any browser not listed here has either not
been tested, or does not support the update process.
Internet Explorer 6.0

Internet Explorer 7.0
Firefox 3.5 or later
The DDIO/DCIO update procedure typically takes about half an hour to complete. While the update
procedure should not affect connected devices and can be performed on an installed unit, NovaTech
recommends all ports of the unit be disconnected during the update.
Review the entire procedure before beginning the update. Further, all listed steps must be followed in the
order they are presented in this manual. If the procedure is not performed in the correct order, it will
result in a failed update and/or an unusable unit.
Note: Losing power during an update could require a full system restoration of the DDIO/DCIO. If
continuous power during the update cannot be ensured, an uninterruptable power supply should
be used to power the DDIO/DCIO during the update. If power is lost during the update, repower
the DDIO/DCIO and evaluate the reboot. If the unit comes back up, restart this procedure. If the
unit does not come back up, contact NovaTech and request the System Reinstallation for
DDIO/DCIO Field Instructions and the associated files.

Preparation
1. Required Tools and Supplies
a. Computer with the following programs and connections:
DB9 serial port 1 .
Ethernet port.
NovaTech Communication Director (NCD), or terminal program such as HyperTerminal or
PuTTY.
Throughout this manual, it is assumed that NCD is used as the terminal program. If
another terminal program is used, substitute the instructions accordingly.
Internet browser (Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7, or Firefox 3.5 or later).
b. Ethernet cable (standard or crossover) 2 .
c. DB9 crossover serial or Null Modem cable which was shipped with the DDIO/DCIO.
d. Power connection for DDIO/DCIO.
e. Thin stylus or screwdriver to reset DDIO/DCIO and change DIP settings.
2. Computer Connection and Interfaces

Step 1: Connect the DB9 crossover cable to DDIO/DCIO Port 1 (the MMI port) and to the appropriate
serial port on the computer.
Step 2: Open NCD and create an online serial connection to the DDIO/DCIO with 19200 baud, 8 bits, 1
stop bit, no parity, and no flow control.
Refer to NovaTech’s NCD User Manual or OrionLX User Manual for instruction on how to set
up a connection. If an alternate terminal program is being used, consult the appropriate
documentation for further details on setting up a connection.
Step 3: Establish an Ethernet connection.

If the DDIO/DCIO is connected to a LAN that the PC is connected to, connect the computer
3
to the LAN using a standard Ethernet cable.
If the DDIO/DCIO is connected directly to the PC, attach the crossover Ethernet cable
between the ENET port on the DDIO/DCIO and the appropriate port on the computer. See
Appendix I for information on setting up a crossover connection.
Step 4: Open an Internet browser window.
1
If the computer does not have a DB9 serial port, an adapter can be used to create one (USB, DB25,
Ethernet). Note, however, that these adapters sometimes cause unexpected results and/or require
configuration. Refer to the adapter’s manufacturer to ensure that the adapter can support communication
with no flow control.
2
Use a crossover cable if the DDIO/DCIO is directly connected to the PC. If both the DDIO/DCIO and PC
can connect to a LAN, use a standard Ethernet cable. If the PC can handle both connection types, both
types of Ethernet cables work.
3
It is assumed that the LAN the PC is connected to is running DHCP and will assign an appropriate IP
address to the PC, or that the PC is pre-programmed with a compatible static IP address. If this is not the
case, contact a Network Administrator for further assistance.
7
3. DDIO/DCIO Preparation
Step 1: Remove power from the DDIO/DCIO.
Step 2: Record the current DIP switch settings for later restoration, then set DIP switches S2-7 and
S2-8 up and all others down.
Figure 1: DIP Switch Settings
Step 3: Connect power to the DDIO/DCIO using the provided power cable. Alternatively, the
DDIO/DCIO can also be powered from a convenient 24-125V dc source. Consult NovaTech’s
Orion DDIO/DCIO Module manual for details.
Step 4: Power up the DDIO/DCIO now and wait for the boot sequence to complete. The DDIO/DCIO is
fully booted when the PWR and RUN System lights are on solidly, and the A Mode light is on
solidly.
Step 5: Open the DDIO/DCIO’s webpage. In the Internet browser window, type the DDIO/DCIO’s IP
address into the address bar (Figure 2).
