This chapter includes 10 of the most common cases to help quickly
familiarize users with practical operation on Dominion SX units. Note that
data entered in the cases are created as examples, and could vary upon
different situations.
Case 1. Upgrading SX Firmware via Web Browser
To upgrade SX firmware version for enhanced features or
service patches:
1. Check Raritan support website for availability of latest firmware
version: (http://www.raritan.com/support/firmwareupgrades and look
for SX under Dominion Family)
2. Download the new SX firmware stored as UpgradePack from Raritan
support website to an FTP server (for example, a FileZilla server),
assuming that FTP server has an IP address of 192.168.51.204.
Extract the zip file to a folder under FTP root directory, for example:
\home\downloads\firmware\UpgradePack_2.5.6_3.1.0.5.2\Pack1of1.
Make sure the folder is accessible by an FTP user account that you
have.
3. Log in to the SX through a web browser. Choose Maintenance >
Firmware Upgrade. Enter FTP server IP address (for example,
192.168.51.204), FTP username and password, and the FTP folder
path where the extracted files are stored (in this example:
/UpgradePack_2.5.6_3.1.0.5.2\Pack1of1), and click Upgrade.
4. After firmware upgrade is completed, log in to SX and check the
firmware version again from: Maintenance > Firmware Version. You
can also check firmware upgrade history to make sure: Maintenance
> Firmware Upgrade History.
See Upgrade the Firmware (on page 109) for details.
Case 2. Configuring and Using Direct Port Access via SSH
To allow users to directly SSH into the serial target without
using SX GUI:
1. You may determine an IP address or TCP port on Dominion SX IP to
use for DPA or any port on Dominion SX. Since network the
administrator has no spare IP address, we will reuse the Dominion
SX IP address with different port.
2. Log back in to Dominion SX and select the port enabled for DPA in
Setup > Port Configuration.
