8. Upgrading the IPS Firmware

When new, improved versions of the IPS ﬁrmware become available, the "Upgrade Firmware" function can be used to update the unit. Updates can be installed via the Console Port or Network Port.

Notes:

•The upgrade procedure can only be performed via the Text Interface.

•All other network ports will be disabled during the ﬁrmware upgrade procedure.

•When the upgrade procedure is complete, all parameters will be set to their default states. Therefore, it is recommended to save IPS conﬁguration parameters to an ASCII ﬁle (as described in Section 7) before beginning this upgrade procedure.

1.Obtain the update ﬁle. Firmware modiﬁcations can either be mailed to the customer on a CDR, or downloaded from WTI. Place the upgrade CDR in your disk drive or copy the ﬁle to your hard drive.

2.Access the IPS command mode via the Text Interface. When the password prompt is displayed, key in the System Level Password.

3.When the command prompt appears, type /U and press [Enter]. The IPS will display a screen which offers the following options:

•1. Upgrade Sector 0

•2. Upgrade Sectors 1 - 4

•3. Upgrade Sectors 5 - 7

•4. Abort Upgrade

Note: Instructions regarding the proper Sector option will be supplied when upgrades become available.

Select the Sector Option indicated for the upgrade and press [Enter], or type 4 [Enter] to abort the upgrade procedure.
