where “i” specifies binary image transfer mode (use this mode when transferring binary files), “host” is the ExpWave’s IP address, “put” transfers the file source on the computer (firmware.bin – name of the firmware on the computer) to the file destination on the remote host (ras - name of the firmware on the ExpWave).

Commands that you may see in GUI-based TFTP clients are listed earlier in this chapter.

12.4.7 Uploading Via Console Port

FTP or TFTP are the preferred methods for uploading firmware to your ExpWave. However, in the event of your network being down, uploading files is only possible with a direct connection to your ExpWave via the console port. Uploading files via the console port under normal conditions is not recommended since FTP or TFTP is faster. Any serial communications program should work fine; however, you must use the Xmodem protocol to perform the download/upload.

12.4.8 Uploading Firmware File Via Console Port

Step 1. Select 1 from Menu 24.7 – System Maintenance – Upload Firmware to display Menu 24.7.1 - System Maintenance - Upload System Firmware, and then follow the instructions as shown in the following screen.

Menu 24.7.1 - System Maintenance - Upload System Firmware

To upload system firmware:

1.Enter "y" at the prompt below to go into debug mode.

2.Enter "atur" after "Enter Debug Mode" message.

3.Wait for "Starting XMODEM upload" message before activating Xmodem upload on your terminal.

4.After successful firmware upload, enter "atgo" to restart the router.

Warning: Proceeding with the upload will erase the current system firmware.

Step 2. After the "Starting Xmodem upload" message appears, activate the Xmodem protocol on your computer. Follow the procedure as shown previously for the HyperTerminal program. The procedure for other serial communications programs should be similar.

12.4.9 Example Xmodem Firmware Upload Using HyperTerminal

Click Transfer, then Send File to display the following screen.

Type the firmware file’s location, or click Browse to look for it.

Choose the Xmodem protocol.

Then click Send.
