The file will transfer to the current directory specified on your computer’s FTP utility. If running FTP from a DOS or Linux command line, the destination directory can be set using the lcd command (ex. lcd

c:\myCfg).

Updating firmware

Using the following procedure, FTP can be used to update the interface card firmware.

1.Connect the interface card to the Ethernet network used by your computer.

2.Start your FTP program using the interface card’s IP address: ftp <IP address>

IMPORTANT: The network settings set to use DHCP need to be set to default. If the IP address is not known, use the serial interface to obtain the network settings. See ”Setting up serial port communications” on page 22.

NOTE: If the interface card is to use a static IP address, the pre-filled in address when DHCP is disabled is 1.1.1.1 and should be changed to an address that is appropriate for the IP network it will reside on.

3.Enter the user name and password. The default values for user name and password are root for the user name and password for the password.

4.Specify binary mode: bin

5.Specify the firmware’s path and filename (.dlx file) with the put command:

put <path:filename.dlx>

The file will transfer and the interface card will reboot. The interface card will then be using the new firmware.

NOTE: You may want to confirm the new firmware level by checking the reboot messages on the interface card through the serial interface.
