Firmware Upgrades

If you need to re-install your current firmware, it is located in the firmware directory of the CD you received with your Blue Heat/Net Sync.

Newer firmware versions are available from Connect Tech‟s website, http://www.connecttech.com/asp/Support/DownloadZone.asp. Choose Blue Heat/Net Sync product. Ensure the following parameters are set: mip, sip, gip and dns_ip using the SCM. To upgrade your Blue Heat/Net Sync firmware, you can use any of the following three methods, depending on your preference.

Upgrade using WCM (Web Configuration Manager)

The Web Configuration Manager is the easiest way to upgrade your firmware. Simply log onto the WCM as described in the WCM (Web Configuration Manager) section, and click on the Firmware link on the left menu. This will bring you to the Firmware page. You will have the option to upgrade from the remote CTI website, or to download the upgrade from a local FTP server.

If you choose to upgrade via a local FTP server, copy the firmware (*.tar) file to the anonymous directory of a local FTP server. If you do not have a local FTP server, contact your system administrator to set one up.

Upgrade using SCM (Serial Configuration Manager)

The SCM method of upgrading is used when the Blue Heat/Net Sync does not boot properly. You can reinstall your original firmware from the supplied CD, or you can download any newer versions that exist from the CTI website in the http://www.connecttech.com/asp/Support/DownloadZone.asp or go directly to the FTP site as indicated below.

You will need the use of a TFTP server. (Contact your system administrator to obtain access to a TFTP server). Download the most recent firmware components from the FTP site ftp://ftp.connecttech.com/pub/BHN/ . These files include BHNuClinux_X.XX.gz, BHNloader_VXXX.gz and BHNjffs2_X.XX.gz.

These files contain all of the Blue Heat/Net Sync firmware. Follow the update command instructions for the SCM Command Reference to update each component.
