6.5.1 INSTALLING A PLATFORM UPGRADE - INSTALL
Syntax: See section 6.5.3 below.
Platform upgrades use the install command using the same approach as application installation,
with platform upgrades distinguished from application installation in the naming of the upgrade
files. Platform upgrades are always named basexupd. Before upgrading the platform, users should
study the installation procedures in the release notes for the given upgrade, because the order of
installation and the sequence of rebooting between installation steps is very important, and may
be different from one release to the next.
6.5.2 PLATFORM SOFTWARE REGISTRATION - REGISTER
Syntax: register [ <key> ]
When a new release of the platform software is installed or when a new DT-6X60 is purchased
with software already installed, the software must be registered. Please call Datatek for a
registration key. Until the platform software is registered, all DT-6X60 console commands are still
effective, but applications will not run.
The register command accepts the key on the command line. The key is based on the product
code (DT-6X60), the software version (the two-part build number, e.g. 16.0) of the platform
software, and the hardware serial number and MAC address of the DT-6X60. If the key is not
given on the command line, the information required for registration is displayed and the user is
prompted to enter the key. If the key entered is correct, any registered applications that have been
previously assigned to instances will start.
6.5.3 INSTALL AN APPLICATION - INSTALL
Syntax: install NAME=<app-list> SRV=<host> ID=<host login>
PASS=<password> LOC=<directory on host>
An application may be initially installed, or upgraded, using the install command.
Note: The application software package file must first be placed on an FTP server accessible to the
DT-6X60.
The install command is invoked from the DT-6X60 platform console and accepts:
 The NAME parameter is a comma-separated list of application names or platform update
names.
 The SRV parameter is the IP address of the FTP server. It may be entered as a domain-style
address if the DNS and/or HOSTS configurations have been established.
 The ID parameter is the user id to be used on that FTP server.
 The PASS parameter is the password associated with the user id on the FTP server
 The LOC parameter is the location (directory name if not /dt6X60/apps) of the DT-6X60
application files on the FTP server,

The install command will then operate as an FTP client to acquire the application files from the
FTP server. Once the application files have been acquired, the install command will disconnect
from the FTP server, and unpack the application into its proper locations on the DT-6X60. In doing
so, the DT-6X60 will display the sum of each application or platform update, which may be
compared with the sum documented in the release notes for that release.
