Upgrading the Networ Cache Changer

The DRM-6NX software can easily be upgraded over the network using FTP on a TCP/IP network.

To upgrade over the network you will need the following:

ÖThe file with the new DRM-6NX software. (the name of this file is of the form product_version.bin, e.g. cde_500.bin for the software release 5.00 for the Ethernet version of the DRM-6NX)

ÖA computer on the network with TCP/IP and FTP

ÖThe DRM-6NX must also be installed on the network with TCP/IP as described in “Assigning an Internet Address” on page 14

Follow these steps to upgrade the DRM-6NX:

1.Log in to the DRM-6NX with the command:

ftp <host name> where <host name> is the name or Internet address of your DRM-6NX

2.Enter the user id and the password (use the user id 'root, which has the default password pass)

3.Issue the command bin to change to a binary transfer mode

4.Issue the command put <software name> flash where <software name> is the name of the new software (e.g. cde_500.bin)

NOTE:

7If you intend to download an earlier version or a beta version, you need to type FLASH in capitals, i.e. put <software name> FLASH, to force a flash memory load.

5.Wait for the flash memory load to finish (normally the flashing requires 1 to 4 minutes. The unit automatically restarts with the new DRM-6NX software active)

6.Log out using the command quit, bye or exit depending on your FTP version

NOTE:

7With some new firmware, restoring factory default setting is required after upgrading. Please refer the release note attached to the new firmware.

Caution!

Do not to interrupt the file transfer. If the transfer is interrupted the DRM-6NX may require service / re-initialized by an authorized PIONEER provider.

Instructions on how to carry out the update are also supplied with the new software.
