6.If an upgrade is required for your product, click the “Firmware” link and download the firmware to a folder on your PC.

7.Make a note of this folder’s location, for use in a subsequent step.

8.Continue with the “Transferring Firmware” procedure.

Firmware can be transferred from your PC to Quadra using either of two methods:

•Transferring New Firmware (Browser Method)

•Transferring New Firmware (FTP Method)

Both methods use standard file transfer protocol (FTP) — one via a web browser and the other in a command window.

Use the following steps to transfer firmware to Quadra via web browser:

1.Connect Quadra to the PC using the Ethernet port — either directly or via a network. Remember that a crossover cable is required for direct connections.

2.On your PC, open up the folder into which you downloaded the firmware. Keep this folder open on your desktop.

3.Launch your web browser. In the browser’s Address Bar, type: ftp://<ip address>

... and press Enter.

Note that <ip address> represents the IP address of the Quadra that you want to upgrade.

ΣExample: If the IP address of your Quadra is

192.168.1.200, type:

ftp://192.168.1.200

4.At the login screen, type “rgb” for the user name and “spectrum” for the password. Be sure to use lower case characters.

5.Cut and paste the upgrade file “fwop_x.xx.tar” into the browser page (where x.xx represents the version number).

6.As an alternate transfer method, simply drag the file from the open folder (on your PC’s desktop) onto the browser page.

7.Verify that the file is now shown in the browser page.

8.Please continue with the “Installing New Firmware” procedure.
