SCP. To use Secure CoPy (SCP) to upgrade firmware for a Management Card:
1. Identify and locate the firmware modules described in the preceding instructions for
FTP.
2. Use an SCP command line to transfer the AOS firmware module to the
Management Card. The following example uses xxx to represent the version
number of the AOS module:
scp apc_hw03_aos_xxx.bin apc@158.205.6.185:apc_hw03_aos_xxx.bin
3. Use a similar SCP command line, with the name of the application module, to
transfer the second firmware module to the Management Card.
How to upgrade multiple Management Cards
Export configuration settings. You can create batch files and use an APC utility to
retrieve configuration settings from multiple Management Cards and export them to
other Management Cards.
Use FTP or SCP to upgrade multiple Management Cards. To upgrade multiple
Network Management Cards using an FTP client or using SCP, write a script which
automatically performs the procedure.
Use XMODEM to upgrade one Management Card
To upgrade the firmware for a Management Card that is not on the network:
1. Obtain the individual firmware modules (the AOS module and the application
module) from www.apc.com/tools/download.
2. Select a serial port at the local computer and disable any service that uses the port.
3. Connect the advanced signaling cable that came with the Management Card to the
selected port and to the serial port at the Management Card.
4. Run a terminal program such as HyperTerminal, and configure the selected port for
2400 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
