This document and information contained herein is subject to the restrictions set forth on the title page .
Update the modem and/or application software.
This command will read a new software file via the RMS network connection
using HTTP, FTP or TFTP. If the file is successfully downloaded as determined
by checksum, the new file will be written to the program FLASH memory and
will be run the next time the system is started.
The first form of the command above will use FTP unless the –t option is used, in
which case TFTP will be used. The name of the FTP or TFTP server is specified
by the ‘host’ parameter, which may be either an IP number or a host name. If a
host name is used the name must be resolvable by DNS.
The second form of the command will use the HTTP protocol. The ‘website’ may
be a web server name (resolvable by DNS) or an IP number.
If updating the modem software, the –f option must be specified. If updating the
application and operating system software, do not use the –f option.
The system checks that the file being loaded contains the proper software and
that the version is later than the currently installed version. To ignore the version
number check, use the –i option, which is primarily useful for reverting to an
earlier version of the software.
After loading new software, it is necessary to cycle power to load the new
software.
If the software ever fails a consistency check at power up, either because the new
software failed to load correctly or because of corruption or hardware failure, the
system will automatically revert to a backup copy of software originally loaded at
the factory. The backup copy of the software cannot be updated except at the
factory.
4.2.32 netmask Network Mask
Usage: netmask [<0|1>] [nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn]
Authorization: Operator RO; Administrator RW
With no value specified, display the current network mask. Otherwise set the
network mast to the specified value. The change will take effect when the system
is restarted.
The IP address consist of a “network” portion and a “host” portion. The network
mask defines how much of the address is used for each one. A typical value for
the network mask is 255.255.255.0.
If DHCP is enabled, this setting is ignored. The value reported here DOES NOT
represent the network mask established by the DHCP server.
Note: the 0/1 refers to the RMS Ethernet port (0) or the payload Ethernet port (1).
Although there is a network mask setting for the payload port, it is not used. The
default port is 0, however, so entering a 0 or 1 is unnecessary and is only
documented for the sake of completeness.
