Appendix C | Reloading the Firmware |
Downloading from a UNIX Host Computer using BOOTP
To download the print server firmware from a UNIX host using BOOTP, first copy the firmware update file to that host. Make sure that BOOTP and tftp are started by checking the appropriate files on your system (generally speaking, BOOTP must be enabled in the /etc/inetd.conf file, while tftp must be enabled in your /etc/services file and possibly in another configuration file, such as the /etc/inetd.conf file). Refer to your UNIX system documentation or man pages for additional information.
Configure your /etc/bootptab file to specify the Ethernet address of the print server and the name of the update file (for example, TROY.BIN). Make sure that your file protection allows general access to the directory that contains the update file. The exact format of the file /etc/bootptab varies widely, so you will need to refer to your UNIX system documentation for details. A typical /etc/bootptab file entry might be:
xc2:ht=ethernet:ha=00401700c953:\
ip=192.189.207.3:bf=/usr/TROY.BIN:
Now log into the print server remote console using TELNET (see Appendix A for more information on using commands), and execute the following commands:
SET LOAD SOFTWARE "pathname"
SET LOAD ENABLE

If the red LED does not go out after about two minutes, check to make sure that you correctly entered all parameters and that your network connections are good. Power the printer off and then on again, enter the SET LOAD ENABLE command, and then type EXIT to exit the remote console and retry the download.
