Firmware file transfer methods

You can use FTP or SCP to upgrade the firmware of one or more Battery Management System Management Cards over the network.

You can use XMODEM to upgrade the firmware for a Management Card that is not on the network.

When you use FTP or XMODEM to upgrade the firmware for a Management Card, the APC Operating System (AOS) module must be transferred to the Management Card before you transfer the application module.

For more information about the firmware modules, see

Firmware files (Battery Management System).
