Firmware and Configuration File
This chapter tells you how to upload a new firmware and/or configuration file for the IES-
1248.

53.1 Firmware and Configuration File Maintenance Overview

The IES-1248's built-in FTP server allows you to use any FTP client (for example, ftp.exe in
Windows) to upgrade IES-1248 firmware or configuration files. The firmware or
configuration file upgrade is done during operation (run-time).
Do not turn off the power to the IES-1248 during the file transfer process, as it
may permanently damage your IES-1248.
The IES-1248 automatically restarts when the upgrade process is complete.

53.2 Filename Conventions

The configuration file (called config-0) contains the factory default settings in the menus such
as password, IP address, VLANs and so on. The configuration file arrives with a "rom"
filename extension.
The OS (Operating System) firmware (sometimes referred to as the "ras" file) has a "bin"
filename extension. With many FTP and clients, the filenames are similar to those shown next.
