	VPort 2310 User’s Manual		Upgrading System Firmware

	NOTE	The power supply of VPort 2310 Video Server should not be turned off when the Upgrade
		Wizard is upgrading the firmware. Otherwise, the firmware upgrade will fail, and you will need

to return the video server to Moxa for repair.

Using FTP to Upgrade Firmware

Step 1: Use the FTP program and change the working directory to the local folder where FLASH.BIN resides.

Step 2: Connect to Video Server with user name “root” and password.

Step 3: Use the PUT command to upload FLASH.BIN to the Video Server. The file size is almost

1.5MB. It will take approximately 2 seconds over a local network, but the actual time will depend on the status of the user’s network.

	Step 4: After the upload is complete, close the connection.
	If the received FLASH.BIN is checked without error, the Video Server will update the software to
	the Flash memory and restart automatically. When the Video Server starts writing the firmware,
	both status LED indicators will remain lit until the system restarts (this takes about 30 to 40
	seconds). You must keep the power stable during the update process. After the system restarts, the
	Video Server may need to be re-installed, depending on whether the Reset network at next boot
	option is enabled or not. After the Video Server boots up, reload the web page in the browser.

NOTE	We strongly recommend that you use the upgrade wizard to upgrade the firmware for a
	Microsoft Operating System, since if the power fails during the software upgrade, the program in
	the memory of Video Server may be destroyed permanently. If Video Server cannot restart
	properly, ask the dealer for technical service.


NOTE	For customizing your VPort’s settings, we strongly recommend that you download config.ini via
	FTP before you upgrade the firmware. The risk is that once the firmware has been upgraded, the
	settings in config.ini might be restored to the initial settings. For this reason, after the firmware is
	upgraded, you need to upload the config.ini and overwrite the one existing in your VPort. By
	doing this, you won’t need to re-configure your VPort’s.
