Galaxy Metal Gear 65 G.13.2 Updating LAN Firmware

Configuring Galaxy 65

8Press the number on your keyboard that corresponds to the protocol you want to use to transfer the

firmware upgrade file from your computer to the SM module.

We recommend using the KERMIT protocol.

The system shows that it is ready to use KERMIT.

9Using your terminal emulator software, send the.fla file using KERMIT.

If you are using HyperTerminal, select Transfer > Send File, navigate to where the firmware update file

is located, select it, and click Open. Select the same Protocol from the drop-down list that you selected

from the Flash Utility screen. Click Send.

The file transfers. The system displays messages showing that it is flashing the code and restarting the

SM module.

Caution Do not interrupt the power when transferring the new firmware.

10 Repeat steps 2 through 9 on the other SM module.

G.13.2 Updating LAN Firmware

You can also update the firmware for the LAN Subsystem inside the SM modules and the LAN Subsystem

loader. The firmware is contained in a.bfl file.

Updating the LAN firmware works best from a system that is not running Windows 95 or 98. When using

Windows 95 or 98, you received a timeout message even though the ftp process is continuing. If you

upgrade the LAN firmware from other operating systems, such as Windows NT or Windows 2000, you do

not receive this message.
