Firmware and Configuration File Maintenance Commands

This chapter tells you how to upload a new firmware and/or configuration file for the IES-612- 51A.

50.1 Firmware and Configuration File Maintenance Overview

The IES-612-51A’s built-in FTP server allows you to use any FTP client (for example, ftp.exe in Windows) to upgrade IES-612-51A firmware or configuration files. The firmware or configuration file upgrade is done during operation (run-time).

Do not turn off the power to the IES-612-51A during the file transfer process, as it may permanently damage your IES-612-51A.

"The IES-612-51A automatically restarts when the upgrade process is complete.

50.2Filename Conventions

The configuration file (called config-0) contains the factory default settings in the menus such as password, IP address, VLANs and so on. The configuration file arrives with a “rom” filename extension.

The OS (Operating System) firmware (sometimes referred to as the “ras” file) has a “bin” filename extension. With many FTP and clients, the filenames are similar to those shown next.
