Preparing for Microcode Upgrade via TCP/IP

Prerequisites:

∙Microcode update file supplied by your i-data distributor

∙BOOTP server access (BOOTPTAB file)

∙Bootfile (configuration file <name.cf2>)

Update process

1.Generate a test printout from the Xerox 4500 PS TR by pressing the TEST key. (Ensure that no sessions are active.)

2.Edit the BOOTPTAB file for the Xerox 4500 PS TR device address. Add the bootfile parameter, e.g. bf = /<pathname>/<filename> (remembering to use the forward slash for the path)

OS/2:

xer.tcp.network3.com: sm=255.255.255.0: bf=/tcpip/etc/myfile.cf2:\

gw=192.0.110.0: ht=6: ha=00036E0004A9: ip=192.0.110.1:

AIX:

xer.tcp.network3.com: sm=255.255.255.0: bf=/etc/myfile.cf2:\

gw=192.0.110.0: ht=6: ha=00036E0004A9: ip=192.0.110.1:

3.Edit either the configuration file or use t he Telnet to change the microcode (Change or add the value for the microcode keyword parameter to indicate the new microcode, pathname, and file.)

NOTE:

∙Do NOT rename the microcode file(as the filename reflects the microcode version). If it does not have a file type, do not give it one. Renaming the file will cause the Xerox 4500 PS TR to hang in a loop.
