4.2 Ethernet FTP Upload Procedure
1. Identify the reflashable product, firmware number, and version for download:
a. Using the 10/100 Ethernet port, via Telnet and the Command Line Interface (CLI),
view the unit information by first typing ‘O <CR>’ (Operations and Maintenance
is selected), then by typing ‘I <CR>’ (Unit Information is selected).
For more information on using this interface, refer to Chapter 7. IP MODULE –
CLI AND TELNET OPERATION.
b. Using the 10/100 Ethernet port, via HTTP and the IP Module Web server Interface,
view the unit information by first clicking the Maint (Maintenance) tab, then clicking
the Unit Info hyperlink.
For more information on using this interface, refer to Chapter 8. IP MODULE –
WEB SERVER OPERATION.
2. Create a temporary directory (folder) on an external PC.
Windows: Select File > New > Folder, then rename the New Folder to "temp" or another
convenient, unused name. Assuming "temp" works, a "c:\temp" folder should now be created.
Note: The c: is the drive letter used in this example. Any valid writable drive letter can be
used.
CMD Prompt: At the command prompt (c:\>), type "mkdir temp” or “MD temp" without
quotes (mkdir and MD stand for make directory). This is the same as creating a new folder
from Windows. There should now be a "c:\temp" subdirectory created (where c: is the drive
letter used in the example).
3. Download the correct firmware file to this temporary folder.
