8.At the HyperTerminal screen, select file transfer and send the file. Choose the appropriate binary file to download using the XMODEM protocol to BIN buffer 1 or 2, depending upon which bin is empty.

9.Following completion of the download process, make the newly loaded bin active and then erase the existing firmware from the now inactive bin. Perform the download process again so that both buffers have the same firmware applied to them.

4.9.2Pre-TFTP Binary Upload/Download Preparation

To perform binary (bin) uploads/downloads via the TFTP function, one of the following two methods of connection to a Local Area Network (LAN) network must first be selected.

The first option requires that the system to which you will download be powered. The connection must be made either in the box that will receive the downloaded file or in a remote box routed through the local CPU that is set as a gateway using an IP protocol. You must be able to ping the IMACS-200 and the local and remote CPU host IP addresses from the PC or server that you intend to use as a TFTP server and vice versa. You may need to change the routing table on your PC to include the IMACS-200 ethernet address as the gateway, or the local host address as the gateway for the system receiving the file as the destination IP address.

Note: Your PC must have some sort of TFTP server software installed and running when you are downloading the binary files to the system. If you are using TFTPD type software it is easier if you set the root directory to indicate where the binary file is located at the TFTPD root screen. This eliminates the need to enter a path at the file name screen during the download process. If you are running a TFTP software package, consult the user guide accompanying the software for details on configuring and using the software.

4.9.3Loading the Software Image Using the Ethernet Port

Follow the steps listed below to perform an software download and activate new firmware on the CPU. It may be helpful to backup the device configuration before activating the downloaded software. Activating software resets the CPU and initializes the IMACS-200.

1.Using a Telnet session over the Ethernet port, establish a connection to the desired IAD. To setup the Ethernet port, see “Setting Up Remote Connectivity” on page 21.
