TRANSFERRING NEW FIRMWARE (FTP METHOD)
Using FTP in a standard command window, this procedure is an alternate way
of transferring the firmware file from your PC to Quadra.
1. Connect Quadra to the PC using the Ethernet port — either directly or
via a network. Remember that a crossover cable is required for direct
connections.
2. On your PC, open up the folder into which you downloaded the
firmware. The filename will be “fwop_x.xx.tar,” where x.xxx
represents the version number. Keep this folder open on your desktop
for reference.
3. To open a command window, click Start > Run. In the Run Dialog,
type “CMD” and press Enter.
4. In the command window, type “FTP” and press Enter. This action
opens an FTP terminal.
5. At the FTP prompt, type:
open <ipaddress>
... and press Enter.
Note that <ip address> represents the IP address of the Quadra
that you want to upgrade.
Once the connection is successful, a message appears in the command
window indicating that you are connected to Quadra’s IP address.
6. At the prompt, enter the user name “rgb” (lower case) and press
Enter. At the next prompt, type the password “spectrum” and press
Enter. The message “230 User rgb logged in” appears, as
shown in the sample below:
