> Upgrade Firmware

Updates firmware when TA 544 enhancements are released. Two transfer methods are available for use in updating the TA 544 system controller.

Transfer Method

The two methods for upgrading are XMODEM and TFTP. (See Appendix B on page 51 and Appendix C on page 54 for more information.) TFTP requires a TFTP server running somewhere on the network. The TA 544 starts a TFTP client function which gets the upgrade code from the TFTP server. Selecting XMODEM will load the upgrade code through the CRAFT port using any PC terminal emulator with xmodem capabil- ity.

TFTP Server Address

This is required when the transfer method is TFTP. It is the IP address or domain name (if DNS is config- ured) of the TFTP server.

TFTP Server Filename

This is required when the transfer method is TFTP. It is the case-sensitive file name which contains the upgrade code.

Transfer Status

This appears when TFTP is used. It displays the status of the transfer as it happens. Any error or success message will be displayed here.
