Chapter 4. FLASH UPGRADING
4.1 Introduction
The UT-4500-A Series Upconverters use ‘Flash memory’ technology internally. This makes
software upgrading very simple, and updates can now be sent over satellite, via the Internet (Figure
4-1); via e-mail; or on CD.
The com
plete upgrading process is as follows:
! New firmware can be downloaded via the Internet to an external PC.
! The upgrade can be performed without opening the UT-4500-A by simply connecting the
unit to the Ethernet or serial port of the external PC.
! The firmware update is transferred, via File Transfer Protocol (FTP), from the external
PC to the UT-4500-A.
