4.5 Updating an NCL1170 Using Remote Connections
You can connect to the NCL1170 remotely through either of the following methods:
FTP
Telnet
To access an NCL1170 remotely, you will require the following information:
IP address for the NCL1170
Password for the NCL1170 (Refer to the Configuration Data Record)
NOTE: If your network has a firewall, you may be able to access the
NCL1170 only from within the network. Before attempting to
configure the NCL1170 using a remote connection, you should be
familiar with the configuration procedures described in
Configuring the NCL1170, on page 17.
4.5.1 Establishing an FTP Connection
Use an FTP session to upload firmware upgrades to the NCL1170. Specific instructions to
upgrade firmware will be provided with each new release.
NOTE: The following procedure assumes that you are using a basic
command-line FTP application.
1. From a computer or terminal, start an FTP session following the instructions for the
FTP application you are using.
2. Log into the NCL1170.
3. At the User Name prompt, press Enter. For FTP sessions, the User Name for the
NCL1170 is blank.
4. At the Password prompt, type the NCL1170 password that you defined for the device.
Refer to the Configuration Data Record for the NCL1170.
5. On the FTP client, change the Transfer Mode to binary. For example, type <binary>.
6. On the FTP client, put the file to the client (for example: type
<put filename.exe filename.exe>). The file transfer will require approximately
one minute to complete.
7. After the confirmation message is received, quit the FTP session. For example, type
<quit>.
NOTE: Once finished with the FTP session, you will need to follow up
with a Telnet session to reboot the NCL1170 for the upgrade to
take effect.
