until the write is 100 percent complete. The 4200 may become

G. Verify that the upgrade was successful by checking the software revision
number found on the System page
Upgrade Procedure for Software Version 1.3.9 or Earlier
Use this procedure if your 4200 is running software revision 1.3.11 or later. The
software version can be found on the System page of the web GUI.
We recommend running the upgrade command using the CLI rather than the web
GUI. This is because running the command in the CLI provides more feedback to the
operator). It is recommended that you perform the upgrade with a local terminal
connection to the system by using the following steps.
C. Use a NULL modem cable to connect to serial port 1 of the 4200
D. Use a terminal emulator such as Hyperterminal set to a baud rate of 115200,
8, 1 and non (databits, stop bits and parity)
Alternatively you can connect to the 4200 remotely using SSH:
C. Logon as root
D. Enter the password
E. Ping the Edgewater Networks FTP server to determine if you can reach the
upgrade server by issuing the following command: ping 204.202.2.188
F. If the ping was successful enter the upgrade command as follows: netflash -
fk 204.202.2.188 pub/e_4200/flash.bin
You will be prompted for a user ID and password. The user ID is 'anonymous' and
there is no password. The following is a log of the process:
netflash: login to remote host 204.202.2.188

The upgrade process takes between 5 and 10 minutes, depending on the speed of
the FTP download.
