Chapter 50 Firmware and Configuration File Maintenance Commands

This is a sample from a FTP session to transfer the computer file firmware.bin to the IES- 612-51A.

Figure 200 FTP Get Configuration File Example

ftp> get config-0 config.txt

This is a sample from a FTP session to transfer the IES-612-51A’s current configuration file (including the configuration files of all the IES-612-51A) to the computer file config.txt.

If your FTP client does not allow you to have a destination filename different than the source, you will need to rename them as the IES-612-51A only recognizes “config-0” and “ras”. Be sure you keep unaltered copies of the files for later use.

The following table is a summary. Please note that the internal filename refers to the filename on the IES-612-51A and the external filename refers to the filename not on the IES-612-51A, that is, on your computer, local network or FTP site and so the name (but not the extension) may vary. After uploading new firmware, use the sys version command on the IES-612-51A to confirm that you have uploaded the correct firmware version.
