TROY Group MAN-EXT2000 manual Reloading the Firmware

Configure your /etc/bootptab file to specify the Ethernet address of the print server and the name of the load file (XJET.BIN). Make sure that your file protection allows general access to the directory that contains the load 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/XJET.BIN:

Now log into the print server remote console using TELNET or the serial port (see Appendix A if you do not know how to do this), and execute the following commands:

SET LOAD SOFTWARE "pathname"

SET LOAD ENABLE

where unixhost-ip address is the IP address of the UNIX load host and pathname is the full path name for the XJET.BIN file (e.g., /tftpboot/XJET.BIN). Be sure to put the path name in quotes and remember that UNIX names are case-sensitive. Also, make sure that your file protection allows general access to the boot directory.

When you type a CTRL-D to exit the remote console, the file XJET.BIN will then be loaded into the print server. The red TEST LED will blink during the load process and will go out when the process is complete.

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.
