This section shows you how to upload a firmware file. You can upload a configuration file by following the procedure in section 7.3.

WARNING!

DAMAGE YOUR PRESTIGE.

7.4.1 Firmware File Upload

FTP is the preferred method for uploading firmware and configuration files. To use this feature, your computer must have an FTP client.

7.4.2 FTP File Upload Command from the DOS Prompt Example

Step 1. Launch the FTP client on your computer.

Step 2. Enter "open", followed by a space and the IP address of your Prestige. Step 3. Press [ENTER] when prompted for a username.

Step 4. Enter your password as requested (the default is "1234"). Step 5. Enter "bin" to set transfer mode to binary.

Step 6. Use "put" to transfer files from the computer to the Prestige, for example, "put firmware.bin ras" transfers the firmware on your computer (firmware.bin) to the Prestige and renames it "ras". See earlier in this chapter for more information on filename conventions.

Step 7. Enter "quit" to exit the ftp prompt.
