Chapter 22 Firmware

Do not interrupt the file transfer process as this may PERMANENTLY DAMAGE your device. When the Restore Configuration process is complete, the device automatically restarts.

FTP and TFTP Firmware and Configuration File Uploads

These examples show you how to upload firmware and configuration files.

Do not interrupt the file transfer process as this may PERMANENTLY DAMAGE your device.

FTP is the preferred method for uploading the firmware and configuration. To use this feature, your computer must have an FTP client. The following sections give examples of how to upload the firmware and the configuration files.

FTP File Upload Command from the DOS Prompt Example

1Launch the FTP client on your computer.

2Enter “open”, followed by a space and the IP address of your device.

3Press [ENTER] when prompted for a username.

4Enter your password as requested (the default is “1234”).

5Enter “bin” to set transfer mode to binary.

6Use “put” to transfer files from the computer to the device, for example, “put firmware.bin ras” transfers the firmware on your computer (firmware.bin) to the device and renames it “ras”. Similarly, “put config.rom rom-0” transfers the configuration file on your computer (config.rom) to the device and renames it “rom-0”. Likewise “get rom-0 config.rom” transfers the configuration file on the device to your computer and renames it “config.rom.” See earlier in this chapter for more information on filename conventions.
