Appendix C: Upgrading the Network Cache Canger

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.
