The steps for downloading a new image are:
1. Choose a method of download (Xmodem, TFTP, FTP) and place the image file on
that hard drive, floppy diskette, server, etc.
When performing an Xmodem download, use the Xmodem or Xmodem CRC
protocols.
2. Bring up the menu on the Extension Point via a terminal with a null modem cable or
a telnet session.
3. Choose the Download Menu off the Main Menu.
4. Choose the Download type, i.e. Download EP Image Using Xmodem, etc.
5. Answer the on-screen prompts for server IP address, username, etc.
6. When download is successful, the Extension Point will automatically reboot and
load the new image.
The Extension Point also has the ability to update other Extension Points' software. You can
choose to Update Images of All EPs or Update Images of Selected EPs. In these two
cases, the Extension Point will first discover other Extension Points. The difference between
these two options is the ability to exclude certain units from receiving the new image. If you
know the IP address of a specific Extension Point that you would like to update, choose the
Update Image of a Specific EP option and provide the IP address when prompted. If you
do not want an Extension Point to receive an updated image, disable the Accept Downloads
from Other EPs parameter.
To view the status of downloads on other Extension Points, see the EP Download Table.
