Configuration Options via Command Line (Cont.)
(Continued from previous page)
Xmodem File Transfer
a)The system will request a configuration (.cfg) file. Transfer the new configuration file using Xmodem protocol.
For example, in HyperTerminal, select Transfer and then Send File.... In the Send File window, enter or select the appropriate configuration file in the Filename field, and select Xmodem in the Protocol field.
b)Upon receipt of the configuration file, the system will request a package (.pkg) file. Transfer the package file using Xmodem protocol.
TFTP Transfer
The HCS6300 must be connected to an IP network for a TFTP transfer. TFTP transfer also requires that you set up a TFTP server on the same IP network as the HCS6300. Consult the network administrator, as necessary, for further information.
a)Make sure the firmware update files are available on the same machine as the TFTP server. Then, set up the TFTP server, and point to the directory in which the firmware update files are located.
Note the name of the configuration file; you will need it to initiate the transfer.
b)At the Enter TFTP server IP prompt, type the IP address for the TFTP server and press Enter, or simply press Enter if the default IP address shown in square brackets is correct.
c)At the Enter the config file name prompt, type the name of the configuration file in the format “filename.cfg” and press Enter. This will initiate the installation of both the configuration and package files.
7.The system will display progress messages as well as the result of the update process (which may take several minutes). When the firmware update is successfully completed, initiate a reset of ALL the cards that received the firmware update (see “Perform an External Card Reset” on page 33).
View MUX or Raw Bitrate Data
Bitrate data is useful for system monitoring and troubleshooting purposes. MUX bitrates provide information on MUX data processing, i.e., the amount of data filtering in and out of the MUX. Raw bitrates are measured at the input pins prior to data processing.
1. Access the HCS6300 Main Menu as described on page 31.
2. At the [Main] Command > prompt, either:
•Type bits and press Enter to view MUX bitrate data for each
•Type rawbits and press Enter to view raw bitrate data for each installed transcoder card (including any transcoders in Slots 3, 6, and/or 10). See example on following page.
