Chapter 6 - Managing Software

Upgrade the Campus-REX2 software as follows:

1Open a DOS window (Windows-based PC) or command shell (Unix/Linux-based PC).

2Change directory to a directory where you will copy the file containing the upgrade software (carex2_Vx.y.tar) and subsequently execute the FTP commands below. For example:

c:\> cd \campus\rex2\upgrade\v5.1

3Copy the upgrade software file (carex2_Vx.y.tar) to this directory.

4At the DOS prompt, start FTP using the configured LAN IP address of the Campus-REX2. For example:

c:\campus\rex2\upgrade\v5.1> ftp 192.168.1.1

A message indicating successful connection to the LAN IP address follows. If this does not occur, verify that you have correctly entered the LAN IP address

5FTP then prompts for a user name and password to connect FTP to the Campus-REX2. For example:

User (192.168.1.1:(none)): admin

Password: admin (or previously configured REX2 password; see “Setting a Password” on page 69)

When FTP is successfully connected to the Campus-REX2, FTP displays the "ftp>" prompt.

6At the FTP prompt, set the file type that FTP will use to transfer the upgrade software file, as follows:

ftp> bin

7At the FTP prompt, enter the command to transfer the upgrade software file (carex2_Vx.y.tar) to the Campus-REX2, for example:

ftp> put carex2_V5.1.tar

If the transfer is successful, a "Store complete" message is displayed, along with transfer statistics. If the transfer is unsuccessful, one or more error messages may be displayed, and the FTP connection is terminated. In the case of a failed transfer, verify that the upgrade software filename has been entered correctly.
