The following is the command format:

upgrade: <TFTP server IP> <Version> <Product Number> <Filename>

The following defines the parameters:

<TFTP Server IP> IP address of the TFTP server, <Version> firmware version of the upgrade file, <Product Number> print server product number <Filename> path and filename of the firmware upgrade file.

Specify a locally administered address (LAA) to replace the factory-assigned LAN hardware (MAC) address. If LAA is used, enter a string of exactly 12 hexadecimal digits.

For Ethernet print servers, the LAA must start with hexadecimal X2, X6, XA, or XE, where X is any hexadecimal digit 0 through F.

The default address is the factory-assigned address.
