Updating Firmware
The response should confirm whether the unit is properly connected and
communicating.
2. Use Command-line to transfer (FTP) the files from the user PC to the LPOD:
•
Type "ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" (where 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' denotes the unit IP Address).
•
Type "bin" to set the binary transfer mode.
•
Type "prompt" and then type "hash" to facilitate the file transfers.
•
Type "put FW-0000078x.bin bulk:" (where 'x' denotes the firmware revision letter) at
the Command-line prompt, without quotes, to begin the file transfer. The destination
"bulk:" must be all lower-case.
Wait while the file transfers.
•
Type "bye" to terminate the FTP session, and then close the Command-line window.
3. To verify that the PC-to-Unit FTP file transfer was successful, review the current firmware
information via the serial or Ethernet interfaces (see Sect. 3.2, Step 1D).
4. Use the LPOD Web Server Interface to select the firmware and soft-reboot the unit:
A. Select the desired Active Firmware Image:
•
Using the LPOD Web Server Interface – Use the Next Reboot Image drop-down list
on the 'Config | Utility' page to select Image 1 or 2, and then click [Submit].
B. Soft-reboot the LPOD:
•
Using the LPOD Web Server Interface – Click [Reboot Now] in the Perform Soft
Reboot section of the 'Config | Utility' page to reboot the LPOD using the Current
Active Firmware Image.
Wait while the LPOD reboots.
5. To load the second image, repeat Step 4.
6. Once the unit has rebooted (after switching to the new firmware), type the "<0/CTD=1?"
remote command (without quotes) at the command prompt to clear the trending data.
The LPOD is now operating with its latest firmware. The firmware update
process is now complete.
