How to Upgrade Firmware
For you to be able to use FTP to upgrade a single InRow RC over the network:
• The InRow RC must be connected to the network.
• The FTP server must be enabled at the InRow RC.
• The InRow RC must have its TCP/IP settings (System IP, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway
addresses) configured.
To use FTP to upgrade the Network Management Card:
1. Open an MS-DOS command prompt window on a computer that is connected to the network.
Go to the directory that contains the firmware upgrade files, and list the files. For the directory
c:\apc, the commands would be those shown in bold:
c:\>cd\apc
c:\apc>dir
Files listed for an InRow RC, for example, might be the following:
–
apc_hw03_aos_xxx.bin
–
apc_hw03_acrc_xxx.bin
where
xxx is the firmware number with the periods omitted.
2. Open an FTP client session:
C:\apc>ftp
3. Type open and the InRow RC’s IP address, and press ENTER. If the Port setting for FTP Server
in the Network menu of the Administration tab has changed from its default value of 21, you
must use the non-default value in the FTP command.
a. For some FTP clients, use a colon to add the port number to the end of the IP address.
b. For Windows FTP clients, separate the port number from the IP address by a space. For
example, if the InRow RC FTP Server Port setting has been changed from its default of 21,
such as to 21000, you would use the following command for a Windows FTP client
transferring a file to a InRow RC with an IP address of 150.250.6.10.
ftp> open 150.250.6.10 21000
4. Log on using the Administrator user name and password (apc is the default for both).
5. Upgrade the AOS. For example:
a. ftp> bin
b. ftp> put apc_hw03_aos_xxx.bin
6. When FTP confirms the transfer, type
quit to close the session.
7. Wait 20 seconds, and then repeat step 2 through step 5 for the application module. In step 5, use
the application module file instead of the AOS module.
