Updating Software Reloading Software

To manually configure the MPS IP parameters for software reload, use the following commands.

Figure D-2:Configuring TCP/IP Reload

Local> SET PRIVILEGED

Password> SYSTEM (not echoed)

Local>> DEFINE SERVER IPADDRESS nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn

Local>> DEFINE SERVER SOFTWARE “/tftpboot/MPS.SYS”

Local>> DEFINE SERVER LOADHOST nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn

Local>> LIST SERVER BOOT

Local>> INITIALIZE RELOAD

Note: For instructions on how to log into the MPS to enter these commands, see the Getting Started chapter.

The path and filename are case-sensitive and must be enclosed in quotation marks. When attempting to boot across an IP router, you must configure the router to proxy-ARP for the MPS, or use the bootgateway feature. For more information, see Set/Define Bootgateway in the Commands chapter of the Print Server Reference Manual located on the CD-ROM.

D.2.1.2 NetWare

The MPS.SYS file should be placed in the login directory on the NetWare file server. The MPS cannot actually log into the file server (since it knows no username/password); it can only access files in the login directory itself. On the MPS, specify the file server name, filename, and path.

Figure D-3:Configuring NetWare Reload

Local> SET PRIVILEGED

Password> SYSTEM (not echoed)

Local>> DEFINE SERVER NETWARE LOADHOST fileserver

Local>> DEFINE SERVER SOFTWARE SYS:\LOGIN\MPS.SYS

Local>> INITIALIZE RELOAD

D.2.1.3 MOP

The MPS.SYS filename is the only parameter that the MPS needs to reload via MOP. Make sure the service characteristic is enabled on the host’s Ethernet circuit, copy the MPS.SYS file to the MOM$LOAD directory, and reload the MPS using the Initialize Reload command. Be sure to use binary mode for the file transfer.
