    • FILE.C
    • FTP.C
    • SPTIME.C
    • LEDINFO.C
13. Press F9 to build the program PALSAK.EXE.
14. Open another project, AGENT.PRJ, and do step 7. to 11. again.
15. Ins->add items:
    • 7186EL.LIB
    • TCP_DM32.LIB
    • AGENT.C
    • LEDINFO.C
16. Press F9 to build the program AGENT.EXE.
17. Finish the building process.

Usage

1. First, download the MiniOS7 Utility from here and install it.
2. After install, open the program.
3. Connect the ethernet cable to the device, and press the init button & turn on the power. It will start to count seconds on the display.
4. Connect(F2)->connection->UDP:
   • IP: 192.168.137.123
   • Port: 23
5. Press OK to connect the device, and then upload files like following instructions:

Disk A:
0. AGENT.EXE
1. block_0.ini
2. ftp_info.ini
3. PALSAK.EXE
4. autoexec.bat

Disk B:
0. plt00XXX.exe <- The latest P-alert firmware.

6. After finish all the uploadings, just disconnect the device with computer.
7. Connect the ethernet cable w/ vertical connector back.
8. Connect the other side to a P-alert and turn on the power.
9. Init button (red) for switching, and CTS button (black) for comfirming.
