EM-1240-LX User’s Manual | Configuring EM-1240-LX |
Upgrading the Root File System & User Directory
The EM-1240-LX uses JFFS2 for root file system and user directory. By default, the root file system is pre-set to READ only. The EM-1240-LX provides a read/write user’s directory in the JFFS2 file system. By using this user’s directory, the system configuration file and user’s program can be stored on this disk.
Search the EM-1240-LX’s CD-ROM for the latest user directory file, or download the file from www.moxa.com. The format is em1240-1.x.dsk. You must download this file to a PC first, and then use Console Terminal or Telnet Console to copy the file to the EM-1240-LX.
You can save this file to the EM-1240-LX’s RAM disk, and then upgrade the user directory. The following is a step-by-step example.
To enable the RAM disk, use the following command.
/>upramdisk
/>cd ramdisk
Use the built-in FTP client to download the em1240-1.x.dsk file from the PC.
/ramdisk>ftp <destination PC’s IP> Login Name: xxxx
Login Password: xxxx ftp> bin
ftp> get em1240-1.x.dsk ftp>quit
/ramdisk>upkernel /ramdisk/em1240-1.x.dsk /reboot
