Optional Network Processor (Np) Module Interface Firmware Update Procedure - Comtech EF Data SLM-5650A Installation And Operation Manual

5.4 Optional Network Processor (NP) Module Interface Firmware Update
Procedure
Appendix E. OPTIONAL NETWORK PROCESSOR (NP) INTERFACE MODULE
Do these steps:
Step
1
Find the current firmware information via the front panel, or the HTTP or Serial interface (see
Sections 5.2.3.2, 5.2.3.3, or 5.2.3.4).
2 Create a temporary folder (directory) on an external PC as instructed previously in Section 5.2.4.
3
Download the correct firmware file to your temporary folder. The NP Module firmware for the modem
is FW-0000051x, where "x" denotes the firmware revision letter. See Section 5.1.2 for more
information about firmware file naming and archive file formats.
4 Extract the firmware files, and confirm the availability of the files in the temporary folder as per the
steps provided in Section 5.2.5.
5 Enable the NP Module. From the modem front panel:
SELECT: Configure  Mode  Interface  NetworkProc.
6
Send a "ping" command – either to the NP Module's Traffic IP Address when in single mode, or to
its Management IP Address when in dual mode – to verify the connection and communication:
7
Initiate a Web browser session with the NP Module using the PC and a supported Web browser.
From the User PC, type the NP Module's IP Address into the browser's Address box (where
"xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" represents the NP Module's IP Address).
Firmware Update
To aid identification, when using the NP HTTP/HTTPS Interface, the Bootrom, Image
1, and Image 2 firmware loads may be viewed from the Admin (Administration) |
Upgrade page.
If in single address mode, to determine the IP Address of the NP Module, from the
•
modem front panel, go to the SELECT: Configure  Remote  EthernetConfig 
Option Card Addr  Network Proc Traffic IP menu, and then select Yes.
If in dual address mode, to determine the IP Address of the NP Module, from the modem
•
front panel, go to the SELECT: Configure  Remote  EthernetConfig  Option
Card Addr  Network Proc Mgmt IP menu, and then select Yes.
Use Command-line to ping the modem: At the prompt, type "ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" (where
•
'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' is the NP Module's IP Address). The results should confirm whether or not
the module is connected and communicating.
The Web interface is disabled in Bridge Mode.
The browser and page examples that follow use Internet Explorer Version 7.0.
NP HTTP/HTTPS pages are shown with optional FAST Features installed.
